Shree M S Patel Vidyalaya

Shree M S Patel Vidyalaya is located at Po Alindra, which is a small village near Nadiad in the Kheda district. We use the 387115 zip code for everything. The school is a simple place, surrounded by fields and a few houses. It has been the main spot for education in Alindra for quite a few decades. The building is long and low, with a tin roof in some parts that makes a lot of noise when it rains hard. We have a big open space in front where the kids can run around, though it gets very dry and dusty in the summer months. Inside, the classrooms are filled with old wooden desks that have been repaired many times over. We have a small staff room where the teachers keep their books and have their tea. Everyone knows everyone else here, so there are no secrets. If a student skips class, we usually hear about it before the day is over. The village life is quiet, and the school follows that same pace. We start our day with a prayer and then it is just hours of reading and writing. Sometimes a tractor passes by on the road and everyone looks out the window, but then we go back to work. We don't have computers in every room or anything like that, just the basics like chalk and paper. It is an honest place for learning, right here in the heart of Kheda.
