Shahid Baba Singh Public Senior Secondary School

Out in Village Rajura, things move at a different pace than in the city. Our school is located at Survey No.39/2, right in the Camp area of Amravati. It’s a big piece of land, and you can see the hills in the distance on clear days. We have students coming in from all the nearby villages, so the mornings are always a bit chaotic with the cycles and the buses pulling in. The dust is just something we live with here. Shahid Baba Singh Public Senior Secondary School is a bit of a long name, so most locals just call us by the shorter version. We’ve got the older kids here too, since it’s a senior secondary setup, and you can really tell the difference when they're all out on the grounds. The building itself has seen better days, maybe it needs a fresh coat of paint, but it holds up well against the rain. We don’t have much in the way of high-tech gadgets, but we have enough benches and blackboards to get the job done. The teachers here mostly live nearby, so everyone knows everyone’s business. It’s that kind of community. If you’re coming from Amravati city, it’s a bit of a drive, but the air is definitely fresher out this way. We just keep our heads down and do the work of teaching. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s ours and we take it seriously every day.
