New Meghdoot Vidya Vihar High School

New Meghdoot Vidya Vihar High School sits right on Azhagar Koil Main Road in the Kodikulam area of Madurai. Because we are on a main road, we hear buses and trucks going by all day long. It’s a very active part of town. Our school building is easy to spot once you get to Kodikulam. We have a gate that we keep closed during the day so the kids stay inside. The classrooms are pretty basic with standard benches and big windows. We get a lot of dust from the main road, so we are always dusting the desks. It feels like a never-ending job sometimes. We have a routine that we follow every single day, starting with the morning assembly. We don’t have fancy air conditioning or anything like that; we just use ceiling fans. On some days, the electricity cuts out and we just have to open all the doors to let the air in. We have a small office near the entrance where we talk to parents and handle the paperwork. It’s usually cluttered with files and old registers. We are just a group of people working together to keep the school running. We don't have any big marketing plans; we just rely on people in the neighborhood knowing who we are. It’s a typical Madurai school life for us here on Azhagar Koil road.
