Swami Vivekanand Sr Sec School

If you head out toward Sihol in Palwal, you’ll find Swami Vivekanand Sr Sec School. It is tucked away a bit from the main city noise, which is nice for the students. The school has been part of this 121102 area for quite some time. When you walk inside, it feels like any other local school where people know each other’s names. We have students coming in from the surrounding villages and the local Sihol neighborhood. The classrooms are filled with wooden benches and blackboards that get a lot of use every day. It isn't a modern glass building; it’s a practical space made of bricks and concrete that stays cool enough in the summer. Our teachers come in early to get their notes ready. You will often see them sitting in the staff room drinking tea before the first bell rings. We handle the senior secondary classes, so the older kids are always around, usually worried about their exams or just hanging out near the corridors. The playground gets a bit dry in the heat, but it’s where everyone ends up during the breaks. There is always a bit of paperwork to do in the office and parents coming by to ask about fees or uniforms. It is just a regular school day here in Palwal, keeping things moving along for the families who live around Sihol.
