Chatrapati Shivaji High School

Down in Lahan, which is a small spot in Nanded, you’ll find Chatrapati Shivaji High School. It’s been here for quite a while, serving the families around the 431704 area. The school building is pretty standard for this part of Maharashtra. We have a large open ground in front where the students do their drills and play during the break. It gets very dusty when the kids are running around. The classrooms have high ceilings and heavy wooden doors that sometimes creak. We don’t have much in the way of modern tech, mostly just the basics like blackboards and benches. Our teachers are usually seen carrying bags full of notebooks to correct. It’s a very local atmosphere; everyone knows everyone else’s business. When the school bell rings at the end of the day, you can hear it across the whole village. We deal with the usual problems like the power going out or needing to fix a leak in the roof before the monsoon hits. It’s not a fancy private school, just a regular high school where local kids come to get through their exams. We keep the place running as best we can with what we have. It’s a lot of daily effort, but it’s a vital part of the community here in Lahan. There’s nothing polished about it, just life as it is. Everyone just gets on with their work until the sun starts to go down.
