J. C Training Institute

J. C Training Institute is located right here in Belpahari. We started this place because there weren't many spots nearby for people to learn new things. It’s a small building and we keep things pretty simple inside. Most of the students come from the local villages around Belpahari. We spend our mornings setting up the rooms and checking the equipment. Sometimes the electricity goes out, which is common here, but we just wait it out or talk through the lessons instead. It’s not a corporate school with uniforms and big signs. We just have some desks and a few computers that we try to keep running. I usually handle the paperwork while the instructors do their thing. We don’t have a big marketing budget, so most people hear about us from their neighbors or friends who came here before. It gets a bit dusty in the summer, but we keep the fans going. We try to help out anyone who wants to learn, even if they haven't been in a classroom for a long time. It’s a quiet life in Belpahari and we like being part of the community. We are usually open from nine until the evening. If you walk down the main road, you can’t really miss us. We’ve been here for a few years now and the walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but the teaching gets done. We just keep showing up every day and doing the work as best as we can.
