Dunetiya Govt. School

This is the Dunetiya Govt. School, situated in Bindu Bulaki. We are located right on the road that goes from Neem Gaon to Raya, in the Mathura district. Being a government school, we follow the official rules and the state curriculum. The building is a standard one with a large courtyard in the middle. We have several classrooms that open out into the yard. It can get very hot during the summer months, but the trees in the yard provide some shade. The students come from the nearby villages and farms. Many of them walk quite a distance to get here every morning. We have a set schedule for classes and lunch. The midday meal is a big part of the day for the children. You can see the smoke from the kitchen starting around eleven o'clock. The teachers here are dedicated to their work despite the limited resources we sometimes face. We have desks and benches, though some of them have been around for a long time. The walls are decorated with maps and charts. It’s a simple life here. We don't have a lot of extras, but we make sure the lessons are taught. When the rainy season comes, the road can get a bit muddy, but the kids still show up. It’s an important place for the local community. We just keep the school running as best as we can for the students.
