Vivekanada Vidyapeeth Agoocha

If you go down Agoocha Road in Bhilwara and look for Building No 563 in Azad Mohlla, you’ll find Vivekanada Vidyapeeth Agoocha. It’s tucked right into the heart of the neighborhood. We are a small school, but we stay busy from the early morning until the afternoon. The building is a bit of a maze with different rooms for different grades. We don't have a lot of extra space, so every corner is used for something, whether it’s storing books or a small desk for a teacher to sit at. The kids come from the surrounding houses, so most of them just walk here every day. You can hear the murmur of students reading aloud if you stand out in the street. We use traditional ways of teaching, mostly just the teacher at the board and the students writing in their notebooks. It’s a tight-knit place where everyone knows everyone else’s name. Sometimes the neighborhood kids who don't even go here hang around the entrance to see their friends. The staff are just regular people from Bhilwara who want to see these kids do well. We have some posters of famous people on the walls to give the students something to look at. It’s a bit hot in the afternoons, but the fans keep things moving. We don't have a big marketing budget or a website; we just rely on the fact that we’ve been here for years and people trust us.
