Zilla Parishad Primary School

If you're looking for us, we are located near the Green Park area along Anoopshahar Road here in Aligarh. This Zilla Parishad Primary School serves the local community and has been a part of the landscape for years. It’s a plain place, really. We have a few classrooms and a small courtyard where the kids gather for their morning prayers. Life here starts early. You can hear the chatter of children arriving long before the first class begins. The building isn't anything special to look at, just brick and plaster that's seen a lot of monsoons. Inside, the walls are covered with some charts and drawings made by the students. We don't have much in the way of expensive equipment, but the teachers are always here on time. The noise from the main road is always there in the background, but we’ve all gotten used to it. Sometimes the local cows wander near the gate, looking for shade. We keep a simple schedule. The kids bring their own bags, and we provide what the government sends us. It’s a bit cramped when it rains because everyone has to stay inside, but we manage. People in Green Park know us as the local government school where the younger ones get their start. It’s just a normal, everyday part of Aligarh life. Nothing more, nothing less.
