Kebal Ram Pur Primary School

Our primary school is situated at 2/3 B, Radha Gobinda Saha Lane, which is a small road just off Circus Avenue. It’s a bit quieter down this lane than on the main roads, which is nice for the younger children we have here. The building is small and humble, just enough to fit our few classrooms and a tiny space for the teachers to sit during their breaks. We don't have any of the big amenities you might find in larger schools, like a playground or a library full of new books. We make do with what we have, using chalk and boards to teach the basics. The kids are all from the nearby houses, so they usually walk here with their parents or siblings. It feels very much like a neighborhood project because everyone is so close by. When the monsoon comes, the lane can get quite muddy and messy, but we just do our best to keep the classrooms clean and dry. We don't have a website or any promotional materials to show off. We just rely on the families in the area knowing that we are here to help their kids learn. It is a very simple, honest kind of life at our school, focusing on the daily routines and making sure the children are happy and learning their letters and numbers like they are supposed to every single day.
