Saraswati Sishu Mandir

Saraswati Sishu Mandir is in Baiznath Para, which is an old part of Durg. The streets are a bit narrow around here, so it’s always a bit of a squeeze when parents come to drop off their children. The school building has been around for a long time. You can tell by the way the stairs are worn down in the middle. We like it that way because it feels like home. We aren't a big, fancy institution with glass walls. We are just a local school in Durg. The rooms are simple with wooden benches that have been used by many students over the years. We have a small courtyard where everyone gathers in the morning. It gets quite loud when all the kids are there together. Our teachers are mostly people from the neighborhood who have lived here their whole lives. We don't use any complicated systems. We just use the books and talk to the students. Sometimes the bells don't ring on time because someone forgot, but we just laugh it off. It’s a very relaxed place to work. We know every child by name and we usually know their parents too. It’s just how things work in Baiznath Para. We are happy with how things are.
