Katurva Gandhi Girls School Murwara Katni

The school is located at 19/1, Biren Roy Road, which is right near Barisha School in Kolkata. People around here just call it the girls' school. It is not a very fancy building, but it gets the job done for the students who live in this part of 700008. Every morning, you can see the girls walking down the road in their uniforms. The traffic on Biren Roy Road can get pretty heavy, so there is always a lot of honking outside the gates. Inside, things are a bit quieter. Classrooms have wooden desks that have been there for a long time. Some of the fans make a clicking noise when they are on full speed. We don't have a giant playground, but there is enough space for the kids to stand during the morning prayer. Teachers carry their registers and walk from one room to another. Sometimes the power goes out and it gets a bit warm, so everyone just opens the windows wider. The whole place feels like a regular part of the neighborhood. Parents often stop by the gate to talk to the guard or wait for their daughters in the afternoon. Learning happens every day without too much fuss. We try to keep the floors clean, though the dust from the street always finds its way in. This simple setup works well for the local families living around Barisha.
