Soni Education Centre

We have our education centre split between two spots in Sangam Vihar, at D-3/68 and A-96. We are right across the road from Batra Hospital, so we are pretty easy to find. It’s a very busy neighborhood, and there are always people moving around. Most of our day is spent with students of all ages coming in for their lessons. We have some basic classrooms with desks and boards. It’s not a fancy academy with computers for everyone; it’s more about the teachers and the students sitting down to go over their books. It gets quite loud in the evenings when the bigger groups arrive after school. We’ve been here for a good number of years and have seen a lot of local kids grow up and move on. The rooms can be a bit hot in the summer, and the lighting isn't always perfect, but we make it work. It's a very hands-on place. We spend a lot of time talking to parents about how their children are doing. The streets of Sangam Vihar are narrow and can be a bit of a mess, but this is our home. We just focus on the teaching and making sure the kids have a quiet-ish place to study away from the noise of the street. It’s a busy, sometimes hectic job, but we just keep at it every day.
