Modern Sadar Public School

Vigyana is where we are based, specifically in the Vikashkhand Bhudhana area. It’s part of the Nayay Panchayat in Muzaffarnagar. The school has been here for a good amount of time, and the building shows its age in some places, but it’s sturdy. We have a lot of kids from the local villages who come here. The mornings are always a bit of a scramble, with children arriving at all different times and the teachers trying to get everyone into their seats. It’s a public school, so things are pretty basic. Wooden benches, blackboards, and a few cupboards for books make up the furniture in our rooms. The staff works out of a small room that is usually crowded with stacks of notebooks that need grading. It gets quite loud during the breaks when everyone is out in the yard. Muzaffarnagar can get very cold in the winter and very hot in the summer, so we’re always adjusting to the weather. We don't have any fancy air conditioning or anything like that. We just use the fans and hope for a breeze. It’s a practical place where the focus is just on the daily lessons. We don't put on any airs or try to act like we’re something we’re not. It’s just a place for learning, where we do our best with what we have. Most of us have been working here for years and we know the routine by heart.
