Nutangram Junior Basic School

Nutangram Junior Basic School is located at No 2 B on Sourashtra Elementary School Lane, just a step away from East Veli Street in Madurai. Being in such an old part of the city means we are surrounded by a lot of history and a lot of noise. The lane is small, and sometimes it’s a bit of a squeeze when the delivery carts and the parents are all trying to pass through at the same time. We focus on the younger kids here, so the atmosphere is usually a mix of singing, shouting, and the general chaos that comes with little children. The school building is quite old and simple. We have a few rooms that we’ve tried to make comfortable with some posters and drawings on the walls. It isn't a large facility, but it’s enough for the local families who need a place nearby for their children to start their education. We don’t have a big yard, so the kids mostly stay inside or in the small entrance area. The staff here are mostly local people who have been with us for years. We know which kids need a bit of extra help and which ones are likely to get into trouble during the lunch break. Sometimes the rains make the lane a bit muddy, but we just carry on as usual. It’s a basic, honest school for the neighborhood families. We don’t have anything fancy, just a commitment to showing up every morning and teaching the basics.
