Dhruv Institute

If you are in Patiala, you can find us in the Puda Complex at Chhoti Baradari. We are on the second floor of Scf 5, right behind the Phul Cinema. It’s a busy little corner of the city. The building itself is an older one, with those concrete stairs that everyone in the complex uses. Our institute isn't very large, but we have made the most of the space we have. There are a couple of main rooms where we hold our sessions. The view from the windows is mostly the back of the cinema and other office blocks. It’s a bit noisy when a new movie is playing, but we’ve all gotten used to it by now. We don't have a fancy waiting room or air conditioning in every corner. We just have fans and enough light to read by. We’ve been here for a while, helping students with their daily lessons and exam prep. You’ll see a lot of old posters and notices pinned to the wooden doors. We don't bother much with decorating. The focus is always on the notebooks and the blackboard. Students usually come here after their regular school hours, so the energy is a bit tired but determined. We know the shopkeepers downstairs, and it feels like a little community. It’s a plain, honest place to study without any of the extra distractions you find in bigger centers.
