Pradada Pardadai Girls School

The morning starts quite early here in Bulandshahr, especially with the girls coming in from all the nearby villages. You can see the yellow cycles lined up outside Pradada Pardadai Girls School long before the first bell even rings. Most of the staff are busy checking the kitchens because feeding hundreds of kids every day takes a lot of coordination. The building itself is sturdy but you can tell it sees a lot of use with all the foot traffic in the corridors. We spend a good chunk of our time just making sure the uniforms are tidy and the books are distributed properly. It gets quite dusty around here during the summer months, so there is always someone sweeping the front area. The noise is something you get used to, just the constant chatter of students and the sound of lessons going on in different rooms. It is a bit of a trek to get out here from the main part of town, but the road is mostly okay these days. We have got small classrooms that stay pretty cool because of the way the brickwork is done. Sometimes the electricity cuts out and we just open all the windows to let the breeze in while the girls finish their work. It is not a fancy setup by any means, just a practical place where people show up and do what needs to be done. We keep the registers updated and try to make sure no one is missing their classes for too long.
