Dilli Public School

If you walk through Sri Ram Nagar Colony in Srikalahasti, you will find Dilli Public School at 16/857. It is a simple building that blends in with the houses around it. We do not have a big sign or anything flashy, just the school name on the wall. Most of the people living nearby know us well. The street out front is narrow, so it gets a bit congested when the school day starts. Inside, we have several classrooms filled with wooden benches that have seen a lot of use over the years. The walls are covered in charts showing the alphabet or maps of the country. We do not have a fancy administrative department; it is usually just one or two of us handling the admissions and the fees at a small desk near the entrance. The teachers are busy from morning until late afternoon, moving from one room to another. We have a small courtyard in the middle where the sunlight hits the ground during the noon hour. It is a good place for the kids to sit and eat their lunch. We do not try to be anything we are not. We are just a local school providing a place for the children of Srikalahasti to study. Sometimes the paint looks a bit dull, and the gate needs a new coat of oil, but the teaching goes on regardless of those small things.
