Khwal Ming Mang Betbari Bodo High School

Khwal Ming Mang Betbari Bodo High School is over in Block P of New Alipur. Our address is 753 A, if you’re trying to find us. It’s a regular school building, nothing too flashy. We’ve got students coming in early every morning, making a bit of noise in the halls. It’s what you expect with teenagers around. The Bodo language and culture are part of what we do here, mostly because that's our background. Most of the staff live around here or take the bus in. The building gets a bit dusty with the construction nearby, but we sweep it out. We don't spend much on decorations. It's more about the books and the desks. Sometimes the bells don't ring exactly on time, but the teachers usually notice. It’s a busy place during the week. We have a small area for kids to stand around during breaks. New Alipur is a good spot for us, though parking can be a bit of a headache for the parents sometimes. We just try to keep things moving. There isn't a big philosophy behind it; we just open up, teach the classes, and go home when the sun starts setting. The local shops are just a short walk away if we need to get more chalk or some notebooks. We’ve become a familiar sight around this corner of Block P over the years. We just keep our heads down and do the work without making much noise ourselves.
