N L Patel High School

N L Patel High School is located in Napad, which is a village near Anand. Anand is famous for its milk, but here in Napad, we focus on our local school. We have a simple building that has stood for a long time. It’s a high school where kids from the surrounding farms and houses come to study. We don’t have much in the way of fancy equipment or new technology. It’s just a place with old desks and a lot of history. People in the village know us well. We don't use any corporate language because we are just local people ourselves. The school day starts early before it gets too hot. We have a playground that is mostly just dirt, but the kids don't seem to mind. Being in the Anand district means we are part of a hardworking community. We don't try to be something we aren't. Our school is a place for learning the basics and getting through the exams. There is no big mission statement on the wall, just the daily timetable. We deal with the usual problems like fixing the roof or getting new benches when the old ones break. It’s a practical life. We are just here to help the kids in Napad get their high school education without any fuss. It’s a quiet, steady kind of existence in a small corner of Gujarat. We do what we can with what we have.
