Sri Morarji Desai Model Residential School 11Th Mile

You can find Sri Morarji Desai Model Residential School 11Th Mile out in G.Kurubarahalli, over in Kolar. Since this is a residential school, it is more than just a place for classes. The kids live here, so it is their home for most of the year. We have dormitories and a dining hall where everyone eats together. The 11th Mile marker is a well-known spot for people around here. The campus is spread out with enough room for the hostels and the academic blocks. It gets quiet in the evenings when the students are doing their supervised study or resting. We have a lot of responsibility because we look after them day and night. The staff also stays close by in the quarters. It is a practical setup, focused on giving these kids a stable environment. The buildings are sturdy but plain. We spend our days following a strict schedule from the morning wake-up call to the lights-out at night. There is a lot of laundry and cleaning to manage alongside the actual teaching. It is a big community living together in a rural part of Kolar. We deal with the usual issues of a boarding school, like homesickness or the occasional broken pipe in the washrooms. It is a busy life for everyone involved, but we are used to the pace by now. It feels like one big family most of the time.
