Ravindra Bharathi School

If you head down Krishi College Road in Raitpeta, you’ll find our school. Nandigama is a small place, and we are right there in the mix of things. The road can get a bit dusty when the tractors go by, but that’s just how it is around here in the Krishna district. We’ve been operating out of this spot for a while now. The building is simple and doesn’t have many frills. We have some trees around the edges that give a bit of shade during the hot afternoons. Inside, the rooms are filled with the sound of kids reciting their lessons or the scratching of pens on paper. We aren't trying to be anything fancy or high-tech. Most of our staff are locals who have lived in Nandigama all their lives. They know the parents and the grandparents too. It’s the kind of place where everyone is connected somehow. We follow a strict schedule because that’s what works best for the children. Morning assembly starts the day, and then it’s straight into books. During lunch, the kids sit together and eat what they brought from home. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except when school lets out and everyone is rushing to get home. We don't have a big marketing team; we just have our reputation in the village. It’s a humble setup, but it’s been serving this community for quite some time now without much change at all.
