Ishwari Jan Seva Foundation

You can find Ishwari Jan Seva Foundation right on the second floor of Times House. We are located at 29/4 and 29/5 over on Rana Pratap Marg in Lucknow. It’s a busy part of town, so finding a parking spot can be a bit of a gamble most mornings. Our office isn't anything special to look at, just a place with some chairs and a lot of files. We've been working out of this space for a bit now, trying to handle the things that come across our desks. Lucknow is a big city and there is always something going on that needs attention. Usually, it's just two or three of us in the office at once. We drink a lot of tea while we sort through the daily tasks. It’s not a corporate setup with fancy slogans. We just handle the work as it comes. Sometimes the lift in the building acts up, so we end up taking the stairs. It keeps us moving, I guess. We deal with people from all over the area who stop by looking for help or just wanting to talk about local issues. We don't have some grand plan written on a whiteboard, we just take it one day at a time. It’s practical work. Being on Rana Pratap Marg means we are close to everything, which is handy. We've gotten to know the other people in the building pretty well over the months. It feels like a real community here.
