Indian Arts And Science College

Our college is located in Kondam Kariyandhal, which is near Tiruvannamalai. It is a bit away from the main town center so it is a bit quieter here compared to the city. We have different buildings for arts and science subjects. The grounds are quite large and students walk between the blocks for their different classes. We have a lot of people coming from the surrounding villages to study. The morning starts with everyone arriving on cycles or by the local transport. We have a small canteen where people get their tea and breakfast. The classrooms are filled with simple desks and chairs. It gets quite warm in the afternoons so we keep the windows open for the breeze. We do not have any big corporate backing or anything like that. It is just a local college run by local people. We have a small office where we keep all the records in big paper files. The staff knows most of the families in the area. We see the same faces every day and it makes the place feel comfortable. Sometimes we have small events in the open space between the buildings. It is not a very complicated place. We just focus on the lessons and making sure the students have a place to sit and study. That is how we have operated for years now in this part of Tiruvannamalai. It is a long walk to the main road.
