Shivshankar Jolle Public School

Shivshankar Jolle Public School is out on Chikodi Road at the Nanadi Campus in Belgaum. It’s a bit of a drive from the city center, but that means we have plenty of space. The campus is spread out, so the kids have room to move. We have several buildings for different age groups. The morning starts with the sound of buses pulling in. We have a lot of kids coming from the nearby villages. The staff arrives early to get the chalk and registers ready. We don't have fancy leather chairs or air-conditioned hallways. It’s just standard classrooms with ceiling fans that work most of the time. We focus on getting the children to read, write, and do their sums correctly. In the afternoons, there is usually some kind of sport happening on the grounds. The dust kicks up and everyone gets a bit messy, but it’s good for them. We handle the paperwork in a small office near the gate. Parents come by to pay fees or talk about their children’s grades. We don't use much marketing talk because everyone knows us already. We just try to keep the place running smoothly. It’s a lot of responsibility, but we have been doing it for a while now. It’s just our daily life here in Belgaum and we are happy to do it.
