Vivekanand Primary School

Down in Damnagar, which is part of the Amreli district, you will find our primary school. It is a small place meant for the younger kids who are just starting out. We have a few rooms that we use for the different grades. The walls are decorated with some drawings the children made, which makes the place feel a bit more cheerful. Damnagar is a quiet town, so we don't have much noise to deal with other than the kids playing during their lunch. We start early in the morning because it gets quite hot by noon in this part of the country. The teachers here are mostly locals who have lived in Amreli their whole lives. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment, just the basics like chalk and boards. Every day, we make sure the water tank is full and the floors are mopped. It is a simple routine that we have followed for years. Sometimes parents stop by to talk about their kids or to bring a small snack for the class. It’s a very community-oriented spot. We don't put on any airs about being the biggest or anything like that. We are just a local primary school trying to do a good job for the neighborhood families. It's a lot of work keeping up with the little ones, but we manage.
