Netaji Himmat Singh Highschool

In the village of Aie, which is part of the Fatehabad area near Agra, you will find Netaji Himmat Singh Highschool. We are tied to the Post-Bhalokhara office. It’s a quiet, rural area where most people know each other by name. The school is a simple, no-nonsense building. It’s got a few rooms for the different classes and a small space for the office staff. We don't have a big paved driveway or a fancy reception area. It’s just a gate that leads into a dirt courtyard. The classrooms are filled with the sound of students reciting their lessons or the scratching of pens on paper. We have the high school grades here, so the students are starting to think about their futures. The view from the windows is mostly of the local fields, which is quite nice during the harvest season. We don't have any modern technology like computers in every room; we mostly stick to the textbooks and the blackboards. It works well enough for us. The teachers often live in the same district and some even walk to school. It’s a very grounded place. We don't try to make the school sound like something it isn't. It’s just a place for the local children to study and grow up. Fatehabad is a bit of a distance away, so having a high school right here in the village makes life a lot easier for the families in Aie and Bhalokhara.
