Yoghi Shri Makanee Nath Sacondray School

Down on Salasar Road in Ratangarh, you’ll find Yoghi Shri Makanee Nath Sacondray School. Churu is known for having some of the most extreme weather in Rajasthan, so our school life is very much shaped by that. We open the doors early in the morning before the sun gets too high. The building is a simple structure on the side of the road. It’s a secondary school, so we have students from the middle years up to their final exams. We don't have a big corporate office or anything like that. The principal’s office is right near the entrance where anyone can walk in. We spend a lot of time making sure the water coolers are working because of the heat. Our teachers are dedicated people who live nearby in Ratangarh. We follow the state syllabus and try to help the students get through their boards. The playground is mostly sand and dirt, which is typical for this area. It’s a very local atmosphere where everyone knows everyone else. We aren't trying to be the biggest school in the state, just a reliable one for the families living along Salasar Road. We do our best with what we have and keep the focus on the kids' lessons every day. It is hard work when the temperature climbs, but the students still show up. We just keep the fans spinning and the books open until it’s time to go home.
