Poona College Of Arts

We’re tucked away in Flat No. 12 at Kavish Apartment, which is in Bhagyoday Nagar over in the Khondwa area of Pune. It’s a residential building, so it doesn’t look like a typical college from the outside. We use the apartment space for our offices and some of the arts-related work we do. It’s a bit of a tight fit sometimes, especially when we have a lot of students or visitors coming through. The living room area has been converted into a workspace with some desks and computers. We have posters and art pieces pinned up on the walls to make it feel a bit more creative. Khondwa is a pretty lively neighborhood, so there is always some noise from the street or the neighbors in the building. We’ve gotten used to the sounds of the apartment complex. It’s a very informal setup, which actually helps people feel a bit more relaxed when they come in. We don’t have a big campus with a stadium, just this flat where we manage the arts program. Most people find us by looking for the Kavish Apartment sign on the main road. We spend our days answering emails, planning events, and talking to students about their projects. It’s a small operation, but we stay busy and try to make the most of the space we have in Bhagyoday Nagar.
