Abhinav Education Societys English Medium School Junior College

Down in Ambegoan, near the S.No. 13 area of Pune, you’ll find Abhinav Education Societys English Medium School Junior College. It’s a bit of a mouthful to say the whole name, but everyone around here just knows where we are. Pune is growing so fast, and this part of town has changed a lot over the years. Our school is right in the mix of it. We have the younger kids in the English medium school and the older ones in the junior college all sharing the space. It gets pretty loud during recess, as you can imagine. We don’t have a big corporate office; the principal and the teachers are usually right there in the thick of things. We spend a lot of time talking to parents from the local area who want a decent school nearby. The building is practical, designed to fit as many classrooms as we need for the growing number of students in Maharashtra. We focus on the daily schedule—bells ringing, attendance being taken, and making sure the playground isn’t too messy. It’s a lot of work keeping a school and college running smoothly. We don't use much fancy language to describe ourselves. We’re just a group of people working in education, trying to make sure the kids in Ambegoan have a place to go every morning. It’s a straightforward life here, focused on the books and the students. That is just the way we like to do things here.
