Mahatma Night Junior & Degree College Of Arts & Commerce

Mahatma Night Junior & Degree College Of Arts & Commerce is located right in the middle of Chembur Naka, near the Gaothan area in Mumbai. It’s a unique place because most of our activity happens after the sun goes down. A lot of the people who come here are working during the day in shops or offices around the city and then they head over here for their classes in the evening. Chembur is always loud and crowded, and being near the Naka means there’s constant traffic and the smell of food from the stalls outside. The building is a bit older and shows its age in some spots, but it serves its purpose for everyone who needs a place to study after their shift ends. We deal with the usual Mumbai problems like the heavy rains during monsoon that sometimes make it hard for students to reach on time. The staff stays late too, obviously, and we spend a lot of time keeping track of everyone’s attendance and making sure the lights are working. It’s not a fancy campus with big gardens, just a solid building where people are trying to better themselves while balancing a job. It can be exhausting for them, and for us, but the routine keeps us going. Most nights are busy and a bit chaotic, but that’s just how things are in this part of East Mumbai. We just open the doors and get on with the night's lectures.
