Satya College

Our location is in Karan Nagar, Srinagar, specifically near the Land Mark building which everyone in the area knows. Being in Srinagar, the weather changes quite a bit and the building has to handle both the heat and the cold. It’s a solid structure, built to last, sitting right in the middle of a busy urban neighborhood. The 190010 area is full of shops and other offices, so there’s always people moving around outside. Inside the college, the atmosphere is a bit more subdued. The rooms are standard with enough space for people to sit and work. We have a lot of windows, but we have to keep them shut tight when the winter wind starts biting. The hallways are mostly concrete and we try to keep them swept. It’s not a huge campus with parks or anything like that, but we have our own space where people can congregate. You can see the old electrical wiring in some places and the paint is peeling a little near the ceiling in the back rooms. It’s a real place where things aren't always perfect. We have a small corner where people can get some water or just take a breather between their tasks. Most of the staff live nearby and they walk to the building every morning regardless of the weather. It’s just a part of the local landscape in Karan Nagar now.
