Deepmala Paragrani Sanskar Public School

If you go up toward One Tree Hills in Bairagarh, you’ll find Deepmala Paragrani Sanskar Public School. It’s a bit of a climb to get up this way, but the air feels a little better than in the middle of Bhopal city. The school is a decent-sized building with a view of the surrounding area. It’s pretty peaceful up here most of the time, except when the kids are outside for lunch. We have the usual setup with classrooms and a small office area where we keep all the student files. It’s not a very formal place, and we don't use much corporate talk here. We just have our daily schedule and we stick to it. The teachers are mostly local people from Bairagarh who walk or ride their scooters up the hill every morning. We have a lot of stairs because of the way the land sits. The kids don't seem to mind, though. They run up and down them all day. We spend a lot of time just making sure everyone is where they should be. It’s a practical kind of school. We don't have a lot of fancy technology, just the basics that work for us. When it rains, you can see the clouds moving across the hills from the classroom windows. It’s just a regular school where we try to do a good job every day without any fuss. There is always something to fix or a desk to move, but that is just part of it.
