Janta Secondary School

Janta Secondary School is situated in Mota Aankadiya, which is a small place in the Amreli district. Our location is quite easy to find in Mota Ankadia if you are familiar with the 364455 zip code area. It is a secondary school, so we see a lot of teenagers coming in every morning from the surrounding farms and houses. The school building is a solid, rectangular structure with a few trees planted around the perimeter to give some shade. The ground around the school is mostly hard-packed dirt where the students gather before the first class begins. Inside, the classrooms are simple with white-washed walls and rows of wooden benches. We don't have any flashy equipment or expensive decorations. It is just a place for learning and studying the regular subjects. The teachers here have been part of the staff for a long time and they know most of the families in the village. We start the day early when the sun is still low. Throughout the day, you can hear the voices of teachers explaining things and the sound of pages turning. When the lunch break comes, the students sit outside in groups to eat their food. We manage everything ourselves, from cleaning the blackboards to keeping the attendance records updated in our registers. It is a very traditional school environment where the focus is on the daily work of the students and the staff in Amreli.
