Shanti Niketan Vidyalaya Shamirpet

Over on Shamirpet Road in the Chanakyapuri area, you’ll find Shanti Niketan Vidyalaya. It’s a bit further out in the R R District of Hyderabad, so there’s more space than in the city center. We have a decent-sized campus with some open ground for the students to play on during their breaks. The main building is where all the classes happen from morning to afternoon. It’s a bit of a walk from the main road, which keeps things a little quieter for the students. We have a lot of students coming from the nearby villages and the surrounding neighborhoods. Every morning, the buses arrive and the place gets very lively and loud. We try to keep the gardens green, though it’s hard in the summer heat we get here. The classrooms are basic but they have what we need for teaching the daily lessons. Our staff stays on top of things, even when it gets hectic during the middle of the term. We don't have a lot of modern gadgets, but we have plenty of books and chalk for the boards. At lunch, the kids sit together under the trees if it’s not too hot outside. We’ve been running this school for quite some time now. It’s a practical place for families who want their kids to get an education without traveling too far into the city. There’s always some repairs to be done, like fixing a leaky tap or a broken bench in the classroom. That’s just how it is when you have children around.
