Nayak National Higher Secondary School & Hostel

We’ve been running Nayak National Higher Secondary School & Hostel here in Azamgarh for a long time now. The pin code is 276136 if you’re looking for us on a map. It’s a busy place, especially in the mornings when the day scholars arrive and mix with the kids living in the hostel. Running a hostel is no joke because you have to make sure everyone is fed and has a decent place to sleep after classes are done. The school building has seen many batches of students come and go. Sometimes the fans make a bit of noise and the walls could use a fresh coat of paint, but it’s a place where learning happens every day. In Azamgarh, the weather gets really tough in the summer, so we try to keep things as comfortable as possible for the students staying with us. You’ll usually see teachers carrying stacks of notebooks and students hanging out in the corridors during the lunch break. It’s just a normal school life here. We don’t have fancy glass buildings or anything like that. It is just a solid brick structure where people work hard. The hostel food is simple—mostly dal, rice, and rotis—and the kids complain sometimes, but they eat it all anyway. We are just tucked away here in this part of town, doing what we do. It’s loud, it’s a bit messy at times, but it’s how a school should be.
