Sharada Vidya Nikethan

You can find Sharada Vidya Nikethan at 3369, right on Sh 132 in the Sm Pet area of Kampli. It is a familiar sight for anyone living around this part of Bellary. The school sits near the road, so there is always a bit of traffic noise, but we have gotten used to it over the years. The building is a simple structure with a few floors and a small courtyard in the middle. We spend a lot of time managing the daily needs of the students who come from the surrounding villages. The morning assembly is usually the loudest part of the day when everyone gathers outside. Our teachers are mostly from around Kampli, so they understand the local families well. We don't have fancy digital boards or anything, just traditional blackboards and chalk. It’s a lot of manual work, from writing out the registers to ringing the heavy iron bell for the end of periods. The 583132 area is quite dusty, so the windows need wiping almost every day. We keep a small garden in the front, though it's hard to keep the plants green during the drier months. Parents often stop by to talk about their kids' progress while standing near the main gate. It is a very down-to-earth place where we just focus on the basics of running a school. There is always something that needs fixing, like a leaky tap or a loose door handle, which keeps us busy all day long.
