Periyar University

You can find us at 7 5 Ganesh Colony in Kelamanagalam, which is in the Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu. This branch of Periyar University sits in a fairly quiet spot. The pincode here is 635 113. It is not a massive campus with huge gates, but more of a local building that fits into the colony. We have several rooms that we use for different things, mostly for handling the paperwork and helping out with student queries. The floors are plain stone and we have heavy wooden desks that have been here for years. It gets very warm in this part of India, so the ceiling fans are almost always on the highest setting. We don't have any high-tech gadgets or fancy screens in the hallways. It is just a place for learning and administration. The staff here is small and we all know each other well. We spend our mornings sorting through files and the afternoons talking to people who drop by for information. It’s a very practical environment. There aren't any big marketing posters or flashy displays. We just keep things moving along as best as we can. The area around Ganesh Colony is mostly homes, so it feels very peaceful. We just go about our business every day, making sure the records are kept and the questions are answered. It’s a steady, quiet routine that we’ve gotten very used to.
