Shri Nandanvan Vidyavihar

Out here in Dehgam, Gandhinagar, we have been running Shri Nandanvan Vidyavihar for several years. It is a quiet spot mostly, and we like it that way. The school is located right in the middle of things, making it easy for the local families to reach us without too much trouble. We have a set of classrooms and a bit of space outside where the students hang out during their breaks. It is not a massive campus with high-tech gadgets everywhere. We keep it basic. Some days it gets dusty, especially when the wind picks up across Gujarat, but we try to keep the floors swept. Our teachers are local folks who know the families around here. We just follow the usual schedule and try to get through the lessons every week. Sometimes the power goes out, but we just carry on with the windows open for light. It is just a regular school where kids come to learn their subjects and talk with their friends. We don't spend money on glossy brochures. If you walk past the address in Dehgam, you'll see the sign and the kids running around during lunch. It's a practical place. We focus on the day-to-day work of running a school without making a big fuss about it. We've seen many batches of kids come and go through these doors over the years. We keep the registers updated by hand and make sure the place is locked up tight every evening.
