Kaushilya Adiwasi Middle School Papredi

This school is located at 24, Girish Chandra Bose Road in Entally. It is an area with a lot of history and a lot of people moving around at all hours. Kaushilya Adiwasi Middle School Papredi is a straightforward place for kids to come and spend their day. The building is older, and you can tell by the thick walls and the high ceilings. We don’t have a lot of modern gadgets here. We mostly use chalkboards and notebooks. The middle school years are always a bit chaotic, so the halls are usually full of noise and energy. We spend a lot of our time making sure the attendance is marked correctly and that the midday meals are ready on time. Entally can be a noisy place to work, but once the kids are in their seats, it feels like a different world. We have a small courtyard where everyone gathers for the assembly in the morning. The benches in the classrooms are long and made of dark wood. They have been there for a long time. We don’t try to be anything other than what we are, which is a local school providing a place for students to sit and learn their subjects. On rainy days, the sound on the roof is so loud you can barely hear yourself talk, but that is just part of being in Kolkata during the monsoon. It is part of the daily life.
