Shikshantar Public School

Our school, Shikshantar Public School, is located over at B 127 in Pawanpuri. Bikaner can get really hot, so we try to keep the rooms as cool as possible for the students. I’ve been working here for a while now, and it’s always interesting to see the kids grow up from small children to teenagers. We aren't a massive chain; we're just this one school here in the neighborhood. Most families walk their kids over because we are right in the middle of a residential area. It makes things feel very local. The teachers are mostly people from around right here in Bikaner who have been teaching for years. We don’t have a lot of corporate rules. If a kid is late, we find out why and try to help. The building has been through a lot of school years, and you can see it in the hallways, but it's sturdy. We make sure the blackboards are clean and the desks are in good shape. Every morning starts with the same sounds of kids chatting and the bell ringing. It’s a familiar rhythm that doesn’t really change much. We don’t do a lot of advertising. Most people just know where we are. We focus on the books and the exams, and making sure everyone gets their work done before they head home in the afternoon. It's just a regular school doing its job every day in the Pawanpuri area.
