Swarnima Academy

Swarnima Academy is situated in Arsanday, right on the Block Road in Kanke. Being here in Ranchi, we get some nice weather, though it rains quite a bit during the monsoon. The academy is a simple building. We don’t have any grand entrance, just a gate that lets you onto the property. Most of the people working here are from around the area, so it feels very local. We spend our days making sure the classes are running and the students are where they need to be. The 834006 zip code is our home, and we’ve gotten used to the rhythm of the Block Road traffic. Inside, it’s mostly just rows of desks and whiteboards. We try to keep the place clean, but with so many kids running around, there’s always a bit of a mess to tidy up at the end of the day. The office is small and usually has a stack of papers waiting to be signed by the person in charge. We don’t really do anything flashy. It’s just a place for learning. Sometimes we have meetings in the small courtyard if the sun is out and it’s not too cold. Parents drop by frequently since they live nearby in Kanke. We just keep our heads down and do the work of running an academy. It's practical and straightforward, just like the neighborhood we're in. We've been at this for a bit and it's our daily life.
