Shetkari Shikshan Sanstha'S English & Marathi Medium School Ghansoli

Over in Ghansoli, things are always moving fast, especially along the Thane Belapur Road. That is where you will find Shetkari Shikshan Sanstha'S English & Marathi Medium School. It is a bit of a mouthful of a name, but we just call it the school. The building is right there in the heart of the Navi Mumbai industrial belt. It is a big structure because we have both English and Marathi mediums running under one roof. You can hear the mix of languages in the halls during the break times. The noise from the Thane Belapur Road is constant, with trucks and buses zooming past all day long. Our playground is not a lush green field; it is more of a paved area where the kids play kabaddi or just run around during recess. The classrooms are simple, with fans that work hard to beat the Mumbai humidity. We do not have any fancy air conditioning or designer furniture in the rooms. It is just rows of wooden benches and walls that could probably use a fresh coat of paint. The staff are mostly locals who commute by the local train or bus. We spend a lot of time managing the two different shifts of students. It is a busy, cramped, but functional place that serves the people living in Ghansoli - 400701. It is not a polished private institution; it is a school that reflects the hard-working nature of the surrounding neighborhood and its families who live near the tracks.
