Goverdhan Public School

Goverdhan Public School is located over in Egmore, right near the Ayyappan Kovil on Egmore High Road. Being so close to the temple means we hear the bells and the morning prayers sometimes, which is actually quite nice. The school is a familiar spot for people living in this part of Chennai. We have been running things from this location for a good number of years. It’s an old-fashioned sort of setup. The classrooms are basic, with wooden desks that have seen better days, but they work fine. We don't have a big marketing team or a fancy website; we just have the gate that stays open for the students in the morning. Egmore is always crowded, and the high road is constantly full of buses and cars. We tell the students to be careful when they cross. Inside, it's mostly about getting through the syllabus and making sure the chalk doesn't run out. The teachers here have been around for a long time, so they know all the families in the neighborhood. It feels like a small community. Sometimes the roof leaks a little when the monsoon hits hard, but we put out some buckets and keep the lessons moving. It isn't a perfect place, but it is our place, and we just keep it running the best way we know how every day of the week for all our students. We are used to the noise and the dust of the 600008 area and we just carry on regardless.
