Ravindra Bharathi School

You can find us on Sivana Road over in Khairthal. It’s a part of Alwar that has grown quite a bit, so there are always more houses and shops popping up around the school. The school building is a solid two-story place with a gate that we keep locked once the morning classes start. We have a decent number of students coming in from the nearby streets, and the morning assembly is always a bit of a squeeze in the central courtyard. The classrooms are filled with those heavy wooden desks that have names scratched into them from years ago. We don't have air conditioning, so we rely on the ceiling fans and the breeze coming through the windows to stay cool during the Alwar summers. The teachers are mostly local people who know the families in the area, which makes things feel a bit more like a community. We have a small cupboard for sports gear and a library that is mostly full of old textbooks and some storybooks the kids like to borrow. It’s a practical environment where the focus is just on getting the lessons done and preparing for the next set of tests. The office is small and usually has a few parents waiting to pay fees or ask about their child's progress. It’s a busy, sometimes noisy place, but it’s a regular part of life here on Sivana Road. We just keep the routine going and try to keep everything tidy.
