Lal Chand Bhatia Model High School

Lal Chand Bhatia Model High School is sitting on Balloki Road in the Haibowal Kalan area of Ludhiana. This part of the city is usually very crowded with lots of shops and houses packed together. Our school has been around for many years and many of the parents who send their kids here actually went to this school themselves back in the day. It’s a bit of an old building, so we are always doing some kind of repair work, like painting the walls or fixing the roof after the monsoon. We have classrooms for all the high school levels and they are usually full of students from the local streets. The noise from the main road sometimes drifts into the rooms, but everyone is used to it by now. We don't have a huge field, just a small open space in the middle of the building where we do the morning assembly. It’s mostly concrete with a bit of shade from a couple of trees. The teachers here are local people who have been with us for a long time. We handle everything from the admissions to the report cards right from a small office near the main gate. It isn't a place with big fancy gadgets, just blackboards, benches, and a lot of books. We keep things simple because that's what works for our community. Life here is busy and we just try to keep the kids focused on their studies and their daily work.
