Abodh Bal Shiksha Niketan High School

This high school is located in Gurudev Nagar, which is a quiet pocket of Naroda. It’s a neighborhood school through and through. Most of the students live within walking distance, so you see them coming and going in their uniforms every day. The building itself has that worn-in feel of a place that’s seen a lot of history and many classes. We have several floors of classrooms and some common areas where everyone gathers. High school is a serious time for these young people, so there’s a lot of studying going on, but you still hear plenty of chatter during the lunch breaks. We don’t have a lot of bells and whistles here. It’s just desks, boards, and teachers who know their subjects and their students. Ahmedabad can be a loud city, but inside the gates, it’s mostly just the sound of pens scratching on paper or a teacher talking through a lesson. Being in the 382330 area, we are part of a tight community. Everyone seems to know everyone else’s business, which is just how these local spots are. We don’t put out fancy brochures or try to look like an expensive private academy. We are just a high school for the kids in Gurudev Nagar, providing a place for them to get their education and grow up a bit before they head out into the world. It’s hard work, but we’ve been doing it for years now.
