Shree G L Patel High School

In the small town of Kunjrav, near Anand, you’ll find Shree G L Patel High School. We are located right in the 388335 area, and most people around here have some connection to the school. It’s one of those places that has been part of the landscape for a long time. The classrooms are simple, with fans that creak a bit when they're on high speed. We don't have a big budget for fancy things, so we make do with what we have. The teachers often walk to work because they live just a few streets away. We spend our days teaching from the textbooks and making sure the students stay on track with their studies. The courtyard is where everyone gathers for the morning assembly. It’s a bit dusty, but it’s ours. We have a small library with books that have been passed down for years. Sometimes the ink on the registers fades, so we have to be careful when writing. Running a school in a place like Kunjrav means you know everyone’s name and whose uncle went here twenty years ago. We deal with the usual problems like broken window latches or needing more chalk. It isn't a corporate setup at all; it's just a bunch of us working to keep the school open and the kids learning. It’s a quiet, steady life here in the heart of Anand district.
