Swaraj Academy

Swaraj Academy is right here in Hadapsar, specifically in the 1st Phase of the 2nd Block on 16th Main. It’s a busy area with a lot of people moving around all day. We have a few rooms where we set up tables and chairs for the classes. It isn’t anything fancy. The building is a bit older, so the stairs are narrow, but we make it work. Most days I’m here early to open the shutters and make sure there’s enough chalk and pens. People stop by all the time just to ask about timings or what we teach. We try to keep things simple and not overcomplicate the lessons. It gets quite hot in the afternoons, so the fans are always running on high. You can hear the traffic from the main road while we’re working, but you get used to it after a week. We don’t have a website that works all the time, so most people just find us by walking past the sign outside. It’s a local place for local students. We don’t use any big words or complicated systems. Just come in, sit down, and do the work. The walls are painted a light blue that’s starting to fade. I keep a water cooler in the corner for anyone who gets thirsty. It’s just a regular daily routine for us here in this part of Hadapsar. We’ve been at this address for a good while now.
