Sri Guru Harkrishan Public School

This branch of Sri Guru Harkrishan Public School is right on Basant Avenue in Amritsar. It is a well-known street, so we get a lot of traffic passing by our front gates every day. The school has been part of the Basant Avenue landscape for a long time now. The building has that old-school feel to it, with thick walls and high ceilings that help keep things a bit cooler during the Punjab summers. We have a big courtyard where the students line up for the morning prayer. You can hear the voices carrying quite far down the road when they all sing together. It’s a busy place with a lot of movement. Teachers are always rushing from one room to another with stacks of notebooks. We don't have the latest designer furniture; mostly it is just the sturdy wooden desks that have been around for years and years. The library is a bit cramped but it has plenty of books if you don't mind searching through the dusty shelves. We don't go in for much promotion or fancy slogans. The local families know who we are and where to find us. Usually, there is a bit of a crowd at the gate around three o'clock when the day finally ends. It is just a regular school life, filled with the smell of old paper, the sound of school bells, and the constant chatter of students walking through the halls.
