Jaswanti Vidya Niketan

You can find us at 98 A in the Tekhand area of Delhi. It’s right near the Kamal Singh Mavi General Store, which is where everyone around here gets their groceries. Tekhand is a crowded neighborhood, so it can be a bit of a squeeze getting through the lanes. Our building is just a regular house that we’ve used for years. It’s got that old Delhi feel where everything is close together. Inside, it’s mostly just classrooms with basic wooden benches. We don't have fancy air conditioning, just the ceiling fans that hum all day. The street outside is always full of life, kids running around and people talking. It gets a bit noisy during the day, but we’re used to it by now. We started this place because there was a need in the local community. It’s not a big institution with a gate and a guard. It’s just a door on the street. We know most of the parents and the neighbors by name. Sometimes we have to move things around to make space for more students. It’s a tight fit, but it works for what we do. We keep our records in old metal cupboards. It’s a very practical, no-nonsense kind of place. If you get lost, just ask anyone for the general store and they’ll point you our way. We are usually here from morning till late afternoon.
