Government Primary School Beh Nadi

This is the Government Primary School at Beh Nadi, located out on the Khetasar Road in Banaka Bas. Since we are a government school in the Jodhpur district, things are kept very simple. We are mostly serving the families who live nearby in the village area. The school sits on a bit of open land where the sand is everywhere, which is typical for this part of Rajasthan. We have a few classrooms that hold the primary students from the younger ages up to the fifth grade. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but the space is functional for the kids. Every day starts with the kids lining up outside for their morning prayers before they head into the rooms. We handle the mid-day meals here too, so there is always the smell of cooking around noon time. It is a small operation with just a few teachers trying to manage all the different levels. The road outside can get a bit quiet during the middle of the day when the sun is high. Most of the children walk here from their homes in Banaka Bas. We do not have any high-tech equipment, just the blackboards and the textbooks provided to us. It is a humble place, and we just focus on making sure the local kids get their basic education and have a safe place to be during the day while their parents are working in the fields or staying at home doing chores.
