Narayana Iit Academy

Narayana IIT Academy is located in West Punjabi Bagh, specifically at Shop No 2/40-15 on the Main Road. We are quite near the golf course, so it’s a pretty well-known part of the neighborhood. The main road is always moving with cars and rickshaws, so there’s a lot of energy right outside our door. Our space is basically a series of rooms where we have set up long rows of benches and desks for the students. It looks like a typical study environment, with papers stacked on the corners of desks and whiteboards covered in scribbles from the previous hour. We have a small office near the front where we keep the records and talk to anyone who comes in. The floor is made of that hard stone that’s common in these types of buildings. It’s easy to clean but can be a bit loud when people are walking in and out. We have a few cupboards for storing all the study materials we go through. Sometimes the power goes out for a bit, as it does in Delhi, so we have a backup system to keep the lights on so we can keep working. It’s not a glamorous place, but it’s where we spend our whole day. We know the tea seller down the street quite well, and he brings us chai a couple of times a day. We’re just a regular part of the Punjabi Bagh streetscape, doing our bit for the students who come here.
