Adarsha Vidyalaya School

We have been located at H No 62 in Secunderabad for a long time now. People in this part of Hyderabad usually just know us as that school on the corner where all the noise comes from in the mornings. It is not a fancy building by any means. The paint is peeling a bit near the bottom of the walls and the gate squeaks every time someone opens it. We do not have a big office or a lobby with soft chairs. Instead, you will find a few wooden benches and a lot of old cupboards filled with files. The teachers here have been around for years. They know the families and they have seen siblings come through one after another. Mornings are always a bit chaotic with the rickshaws dropping off kids and the tea stall nearby doing a brisk business. We do not have a big marketing budget or a website with shiny photos. We just do the work. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to open all the windows to get a breeze going. It gets dusty because of the road, so we are always dusting off the desks. It is just a regular, local school where we try to keep things moving. We do not promise anything grand. We just provide a place for the neighborhood kids to sit down and learn their lessons. It is a bit cramped sometimes, but we make it work somehow.
