Shri Rama Public High School

If you head out toward Katrain in Kullu, you'll find Shri Rama Public High School right there in the Manali area. It’s a beautiful place to be, even if the winters get a bit cold for everyone’s liking. We’ve got a simple building that serves the local families. Most days start with the sound of the bell ringing out across the valley. We don’t have much in the way of fancy decorations. To be honest, we spend more time worrying about the heaters working than we do about looking corporate. The kids come from all around the Katrain area, some walking quite a distance to get here. We see a lot of mud on the boots during the rainy months, but that’s just part of it. The classrooms are basic, with wooden desks that have been around for years. We try to keep things orderly, but with a bunch of high schoolers running around, it’s always a bit chaotic. Our staff is mostly local folks who have been here forever. We don’t really do big advertisements or anything. People just know us because their older siblings or cousins came here too. It’s a small operation, really. We handle the paperwork, teach the classes, and try to keep the place tidy enough for the next day. It’s honest work and we’ve been doing it this way for a long time now.
