Arm Institute

You’ll find Arm Institute over in Phase I of the Okhla Industrial Estate, specifically at A1243. It’s an industrial area, so it’s not exactly the prettiest place to walk around. There are a lot of trucks and workers moving about all day. Our space is set up for training and learning. We have rooms with chairs and equipment where people come to pick up new skills. It’s a practical environment. We don’t have expensive decorations or anything. The walls are mostly bare, and the furniture is just there to be used. We started this because we saw that people needed a place to learn things that would actually help them get work. Most of the folks who come here are looking for something useful to do with their hands or their time. We try to keep things simple. No long speeches or complicated rules. If you want to learn, you sit down and we show you. The commute to Okhla can be a bit of a grind, but people still show up. We’ve got a small kettle in the back for tea, which gets a lot of use during the winter months. It’s a straightforward operation. We don’t pretend to be anything more than a place where people can come and improve themselves. It’s been our home for a while now and we like the grit of the industrial estate. That is basically it.
