Raj Institute

You can find Raj Institute over on Kanke Road. It’s a bit of a walk from the main city center of Ranchi, which is actually nice because it stays a little quieter than the middle of town. We set up this place because we saw a lot of kids in this neighborhood needing a spot to study after their regular school hours. The building we are in is just a standard one, nothing special to look at from the outside. Inside, we’ve got a few rooms with enough chairs and tables for the groups that come in. We do a lot of different subjects, mostly whatever the students are struggling with at the time. It’s not a polished corporate office. We have some old posters on the walls and maybe some dust on the top shelves that we forget to clean. We drink a lot of tea while we work. The students come from the nearby houses, usually walking over or taking a quick auto ride. We know most of the parents around here by name. It’s a very local feel. We don’t spend money on big ads or anything like that. We just open the doors in the morning and wait for the first batch to arrive. Some days are busier than others, especially when finals are coming up. We just keep our heads down and help out where we can. It’s a practical place for people who just want to learn something.
