Adarsh Institute

Finding us inside the Raghunandan Textile Market in Byculla isn't too hard once you get used to the crowds. We are up in units 505 and 506. It’s a busy area, always filled with the sounds of people moving goods and talking loudly, but once you step inside our rooms, it gets a bit quieter. We focus on teaching here. The space is filled with desks and books, and there’s always someone asking a question. We don’t have a big corporate lobby or anything like that. It’s just a workspace where people come to learn something new. Sometimes the elevator in the market is slow, so we end up taking the stairs, which keeps us moving. We’ve been part of this Byculla community for some time, and we like being right in the middle of all the trade and action. Rooms 505 and 506 have seen many faces over the years. We keep the lights on late most evenings because there is always more work to do. It’s a simple setup—whiteboards, markers, and enough chairs for everyone who shows up. We don’t do big speeches or marketing. We just open the doors in the morning and wait for the students to arrive. It’s a real place for real people trying to get ahead. Being here in the textile market feels right for what we do. It is just a regular school in a busy marketplace.
