Kamala Niketan Higher Secondary School

Kamala Niketan is located on Street No. 7 in Vidya Nagar, Hyderabad. This part of the city is always full of students because of all the colleges nearby. Our school is a higher secondary one, so the students are a bit older and more serious, mostly. They are always carrying heavy bags full of textbooks. The building is several floors high, and the stairs get a lot of use every day. We have a small lab for science stuff, though it’s pretty basic with old glass jars and burners. The classrooms have rows of wooden benches that have been there for years. In the afternoons, the sun beats down on the Vidya Nagar streets, and it gets quite warm inside. We have a small office near the entrance where all the records are kept in big steel cupboards. The staff usually spends their break time talking about the upcoming exams. It’s a very practical environment. There isn't much room for a big playground, so the kids just hang out in the corridors during their breaks. It’s a typical Hyderabad school. We don't try to look like those expensive international schools. We are just a local place for students to get their education done. Everyone knows the tea shop at the corner of Street No. 7 where the seniors go after school. It’s just how things are here. We just focus on the lessons and keeping the schedule on track.
