Smt L B Katara Kanya Vidhyalay

Smt L B Katara Kanya Vidhyalay is located in Fatepura, which is part of the Dahod district. It is a school specifically for girls, and we have been here for quite some time now. The building has a few floors and many classrooms that look out over the local streets. Every morning, you see the girls walking in through the main gate, mostly in groups, talking about their homework or things at home. We don't have a big shiny website or a PR person writing our stories. It’s just us, the teachers and the local workers, keeping the place running. The school bell is hand-operated, and someone has to remember to ring it exactly on time for every period. In the rainy season, the courtyard gets a bit muddy, but we just put down some planks or sand. The classrooms have high ceilings and old wooden furniture that has seen a lot of use over the years. We keep the registers updated by hand, and there is always a stack of paperwork on the principal's desk. It is a quiet kind of place most of the time, except when the classes change. People in Dahod know us as a basic, local school where the focus is just on getting through the syllabus. There aren't many frills here, just the daily routine of teaching and learning. We often spend our afternoons sitting by the window, watching the town go by while we grade papers.
