Mars Digital Global School

Being out here in Chakan, we are right in the middle of a lot of industrial activity. It's a busy part of Pune, and the 410501 area is always moving with trucks and workers. We set up this school because the families around here needed a place nearby for their kids. It isn't a massive place, but we have enough room for the classes we run. The "Digital" part of our name reflects that we try to use some computers when we can, though sometimes the internet acts up like it does everywhere else. We don't have a lot of fancy landscaping, just the building where the kids come to learn. The noise from the road can be a bit much sometimes, but we’re used to it by now. The staff mostly comes from the surrounding areas, so we all know the local shortcuts and where to get the best snacks during lunch. We don’t have a big corporate office or a PR person. It’s just us teachers and the admin staff making sure the schedule is followed. Every morning we check the classrooms and make sure the benches are straight. It’s practical work. We spend our days teaching and making sure the kids stay safe until their parents pick them up in the afternoon. It’s a simple life here in Chakan, and we just keep doing our bit without expecting any awards or special attention. We're just glad to have a roof over our heads and students in the seats.
