Pathshala Education Zone

Our location is in Sardar Nagar- West, specifically on that street everyone calls Raj Mandir Fast Food Street. It is right off Tagore Road in Rajkot. Since we are on a food street, it always smells like something good is being cooked nearby, which can be a bit distracting for the students sometimes. Pathshala Education Zone is tucked away amongst the other shops and businesses there. We have a modest setup with a few classrooms. The benches are simple wood, and we have got a couple of whiteboards that are a bit stained from years of use. It is a very lively area to be in. We often see the same faces walking by every day and know the other shop owners. The room we use for the older students has a big window, but we usually keep the blinds down so they do not get distracted by the people going to the fast food stalls outside. We do not have a big reception desk or anything like that. Usually, one of us is just sitting at a small table near the entrance. We keep our supplies in a cupboard that squeaks every time you open it. It is just a regular, local education spot. We focus on getting through the syllabus and making sure the students have a place to sit and study without too much trouble. It is our daily life here on Tagore Road.
