R.K.International School

You can find us in Nabahi Village, near the Nabahi Temple in the Gopalpur Tehsil of Mandi District. It’s a beautiful spot, especially when the weather is clear and you can see the hills around us. R.K.International School is right here in the heart of the village. We hear the temple bells from time to time, which is a nice background sound while we are working in the office. The school isn't some huge, cold institution. It’s a place where we know the neighbors and the local shopkeepers. We spend our mornings getting the classrooms ready and making sure the post from the Sarkaghat office is sorted out. The walk up here can be a bit steep for some, but it’s just part of the daily life in Mandi. We don't use big words to describe what we do. It’s just teaching and looking after the kids who come from the nearby houses. Sometimes the monkeys come around and we have to make sure the windows are shut properly. We’re just regular people working in a village school. There’s no need for polished brochures when everyone already knows who we are. We fix things when they break and keep the place as clean as we can. It’s an honest way to spend the day, surrounded by the hills and the quiet life of Nabahi Village. We just do our bit and go home.
