Yah India Knowledge Foundation

Yah India Knowledge Foundation is based in Swami Nagar, right at C-20 on the ground floor. We are tucked between buildings C34 and C35, just across from the DAV substation. If you see the big electrical boxes, you are in the right place. We call ourselves a knowledge foundation because we really think that knowing things is the only way for people to get ahead in life. But we keep things very basic. It’s a small room filled with some books and a few old desks. We mostly work with kids and young people from the area who need a quiet place to learn or someone to explain things to them. Swami Nagar is a busy spot, and there is always something going on outside on the street, but inside we try to keep it focused. We don’t have a lot of funding, so we make do with what we have. A lot of our furniture was donated by people in the neighborhood. We don’t have a professional secretary or anything like that; usually, one of us just opens the door when someone knocks. It’s a bit disorganized at times, with papers and pens scattered around on the tables, but that’s just how it goes when you’re busy helping people. We aren't trying to be a big university, just a local spot where people can come to get a bit smarter about the world. It’s simple, honest work for us.
