Vishwajyothi International Public School

Our school is located right on the Jevargi Chamarajanagar Road in Siruguppa. It’s a busy road with a lot of heavy trucks passing by, so we have a pretty solid wall out front to keep the dust and noise down. Inside, it’s a whole different world from the street. We have a lot of kids from the surrounding villages and the local town. Most of us who work here have been living in Siruguppa for a long time. The mornings start with the sound of the gates opening and the kids jumping off their bikes or out of the vans. We have a simple setup here—plain desks, chairs, and plenty of chalkboards. It’s not one of those high-tech schools with tablets for every single student. We just try to get the basics right first. The staff room is a bit cramped, but it’s where we get to sit down for ten minutes and breathe between classes. We handle everything from the cleaning to the paperwork ourselves. It’s a lot of hard work, and some days we’re totally exhausted by the time three o'clock rolls around. But seeing the kids actually learn something new makes it all okay. The building is painted a bright color so it’s easy for parents to spot it from the road. We don't have a big marketing budget, so we just rely on being a good part of the community. It’s a plain, honest place.
