D A V Public School

Living and working at D A V Public School in Rihand Nagar means being part of the whole N T P C community. The school is right there in the colony, so it’s very tied into the lives of the people who work at the power plant. Our address is Rihand Nagar, Sonbhadra - 231208, and it’s a bit of a trek to get out here if you’re coming from the bigger cities. Because it’s a company township, the school has a very specific feel to it. Most of the children who come here are the sons and daughters of the N T P C employees, so everyone knows their neighbors. The school day starts early, and you see the kids walking over from their houses in the colony. It’s a safe, quiet area with a lot of trees around. We have the usual stuff like a library and some science labs, but nothing over the top. It’s just a solid, dependable building where we do our jobs every day. The weather in Sonbhadra can get really hot in the summer, so we spend a lot of time making sure the fans are working and the kids stay hydrated. We’ve been here for a long time, and we’ve seen many groups of kids grow up and move away. It’s a steady kind of life, and the school is the center of it for many families living here in Rihand Nagar.
