Adhar Muk Badhir Vidyalaya

We've been here at Survey No 670/71 in Lower Indira Nagar for a while now. Most people know the spot on the Bibvewadi main road. It gets pretty busy around here in Pune, but we managed to set things up for the kids who can't hear or speak well. It’s just a normal building where we spend our days trying to help out. Some days are loud even without voices, and other days are quiet. We have local teachers who live nearby. The classrooms aren't anything fancy, just desks and chairs and basic stuff. People often walk by and see the sign on the gate. It's a bit dusty because of the road traffic, but we try to keep it tidy. Sometimes the gate squeaks when you open it. We deal with regular school things, like fixing broken chalk or sorting out the lunch schedules. It isn't a huge place, but there is enough room for the students to get around. Mostly, we just focus on getting through the lessons every morning. Being in Pune, the weather gets hot, so we keep the fans running when they work. It’s just us doing what needs to be done every day. We don't have much of a front office, usually just one of us sitting there to answer questions if someone stops in from the street. The floor is made of old tile and it's seen a lot of feet over the years. We keep some plants in the corner, though we sometimes forget to water them. It’s just a place where kids can come and be themselves.
