Shri Varun Bal Bharti Upper Primary School

It’s been quite a few years since we started here inside Jalori Gate. If you know the Khanda Falsa area in Jodhpur, you know how busy it gets with the morning traffic and the shops opening up. Our school is right in the middle of all that. It’s an upper primary school, so we have kids from the younger grades up to the middle years. Most of the staff has been here for a long time, and we just go about our work day by day. The building isn't brand new, but it's sturdy and serves us well. We have classes running from morning till the afternoon. Sometimes the bells get a bit loud, and you can hear the kids reciting their lessons all the way out on the street. It’s a lot of work keeping everything organized, especially with the heat in Jodhpur during the summer months. We try to keep the classrooms as cool as we can with the fans we have. Parents often drop by to check on their children or talk to the teachers about their progress. It is just a normal school where people show up, do their jobs, and the children learn what they need to. There’s nothing fancy about it. We just focus on the basics like reading, writing, and math. The stairs are a bit narrow, so the kids have to be careful when they go up and down. We’ve grown used to the routine here over the years. It feels like home to most of us now. We keep the registers updated and the floors swept every single day.
