Keshav Gyansthali School Dinara

Our school is located in the 700027 area of Kolkata. We don't have a complicated story. It’s just a place where we teach the local children. The building is what you would expect from a neighborhood school. We have several rooms that we use for different age groups. The hallways are often filled with the sound of kids talking or teachers giving lessons. It gets quite warm in the afternoons, so we keep the fans running all day. We have a small office where we keep all the records and files. It’s a bit cluttered in there, but we know where everything is. The staff are mostly people who live nearby. We don't put on any airs or graces. It’s just a practical place for learning. Sometimes we have to move the furniture around to make space for a school event or a meeting. We don't have much of an outdoor space, so the kids mostly stay indoors during their breaks. The paint on the walls is peeling a little in some corners, but we try to keep it tidy. We focus on the daily tasks like lesson planning and grading. It’s a steady rhythm here. Most of our students come from the families living in the surrounding streets. We’ve been part of this community for a while now. It’s a simple setup but it works for us and the parents.
