Dadasaheb Mokashi Polytechnic

Our campus is located in Rajmachi, as part of the wider Mokashi Krishi Vikas Pratishtans. It’s a place where students come to learn practical skills. We aren't a massive university with thousands of people, but we have enough going on to keep us busy from morning till night. You’ll see students hanging out near the agriculture college or heading to their labs. The staff here mostly lives nearby or travels in from the surrounding towns. It’s a bit of a trek for some, but the air out here is better than in the city. We focus on teaching the basics and making sure the kids understand how things actually work in the real world. Our classrooms are simple, with plenty of chalkboards and old desks. We spend a lot of time on the ground, especially since there is an agricultural aspect to the whole foundation. Sometimes the weather makes things difficult, like when the heavy rains hit Rajmachi, but we carry on with the lessons anyway. It’s a quiet life for the most part, focused on the books and the practical training. We like seeing the students graduate and go off to find jobs. It makes the long days of grading papers and setting up labs feel worth it. We aren't doing anything fancy, just providing a place for local kids to get an education. The old trees around the campus provide some shade during the lunch hour when everyone gathers outside.
