Sharda High School

Sharda High School is located on Station Road in Anand. It's a very busy part of town, so there is always a lot going on right outside our gates. The building is a simple two-story structure made of concrete. We have a small open area in the middle of the building where we all gather in the morning for prayers. It’s a bit tight when everyone is there at once. The classrooms are basic with wooden benches and big windows that look out onto the street. You can hear the rickshaws and the people shouting in the market while we are trying to teach. It was distracting at first, but now we don't even notice it. Our library is just a few cupboards filled with old textbooks and some stories. The staff here has been the same for a long time. We know the parents and even the grandparents of some of our students. We bring our own lunch and share it in the office during the break. It’s a lot of work to keep the place tidy because of all the dust from the station road. We don't have a big budget for repairs, so we just fix things when we can. It’s not a polished or modern school, but it’s where we work every day. We focus on the basics of reading, writing, and math. It’s just how it is here.
