Dream India School-Baharaich

Dream India School in Bahraich is located on Hozoorpur Road, right near the Indane Gas Godown. A lot of people still remember it as St Andrews School, but the name changed a while back. We are at 1267/2, near the Kati Chaurah area. It’s a very recognizable spot because of the gas godown landmark. I’ve been working here since before the transition, and the daily grind is pretty much the same. The building is tucked away a bit from the main road noise. We have a front gate where everyone congregates in the morning. Inside, the rooms are simple. We have the usual desks and chairs, and some of the walls have drawings that the kids did last year. The weather here in Bahraich can be quite humid, so we really rely on the ceiling fans. We have a small staff, so everyone ends up doing a bit of everything, from fixing a desk to helping with the registers. It’s a local place, and most of the kids live within walking distance or a short rickshaw ride away. Sometimes the power goes out, and we just have to open the windows and carry on. It’s not a perfect setup, but it’s our school and we make it work with what we have. The bell rings at the same time every day, and that’s our main guide. We see the same faces every day and that makes it feel like home.
