Untada Primary School

Untada Primary School is located in Village Rup Singh Jote, which is in the Lower Bagdogra area of Siliguri. Since we are a primary school, we only have the younger children from the local area coming here for their classes. Being tucked away in a village means the atmosphere is much quieter than what you would find in the middle of a big city like Siliguri. Most of the families living around here work on the land or in small local jobs, and they send their kids to us to learn the basics like reading and math. The school building is small and quite simple in its design. We have a few rooms where the different age groups meet up each day. It is the kind of place where the teachers know every child by their name because the community is so small. The kids spend their time playing in the open areas during their breaks as long as it is not raining too hard outside. We do not have any high-tech tools or fancy playgrounds. We just have blackboards, some books, and teachers who want to make sure these children get a fair start in life. Some of the kids have a bit of a walk on the dirt paths to get here, but they show up most days ready to learn. It is a humble little village school that tries to do a good job for the families in Rup Singh Jote.
