Drivechange Learning & Resource Centrefoundation

We operate out of a flat in Baner, at Rohan Seher. It’s Flat No. 50 on Survey No. 34. Baner is a busy part of Pune, but our place is a bit tucked away. We call it a learning and resource centre, but really it’s just a space where we keep stuff that people might find useful. It’s not a big institution. There are boxes of books and materials stacked up in the corners. Sometimes it’s hard to find a place to sit because we have so much gear lying around. We’re just a small team. None of us are corporate types. We usually just wear jeans and t-shirts and get to work. There isn't a "best" way to describe what we do because it changes every week depending on who needs what. We don't have a receptionist or a big sign outside. Usually, people just hear about us from someone else and show up. We try to be helpful with whatever resources we have on hand. It’s a bit of a juggle sometimes, especially when we run out of space, but we make it work. We don't have a polished way of talking about our work. We just tell people what we’re doing and leave it at that. It’s just a practical, local effort to share some knowledge and resources in our part of Pune. It’s a lot of work but we just keep at it.
