Sumitra Devi Public School

Sumitra Devi Public School is right at Salempur Chowk in Kahalgaon. We’re located quite close to the NTPC area, so it’s a familiar spot for a lot of people who work there. The school sits near the main intersection, which makes it very busy during the morning rush. You can hear the trucks and buses going past all day long. We have a main building with several floors of classrooms. It’s a bit older now, but we keep it in decent shape. The students come from all over Kahalgaon. Some parents drop them off on their way to work at the power plant. We have a small office near the entrance where we keep all the records. The classrooms have the standard blackboards and rows of desks. It gets pretty warm in the summer months, so the ceiling fans are always going. During the lunch break, the students usually stay inside or hang out in the small courtyard we have. It’s a practical kind of place. We don’t have a lot of extra space for fancy things, so we just use what we have to the best of our ability. The staff are mostly local people who have lived in Kahalgaon for years. We know the community well. It’s just a regular public school where we try to get things done every day without too much fuss. People know us for being there at the chowk for quite some time now, and we keep the gates open early for everyone.
