High School Batra Sitamarhi

If you go down Bhagat Desh Raj Channa Marg in Moti Nagar, you’ll see High School Batra Sitamarhi sitting at number 10/5. It’s a familiar sight for the locals who have lived in this part of Delhi for a long time. The street can get quite crowded with vendors and shoppers, especially in the evenings, but once you step inside the gates, it feels a bit more contained and quiet. The building has that typical brick look you see in a lot of older Delhi schools. Inside, the classrooms are always filled with the sound of teachers talking and chairs scraping on the floor. We have a small yard where the students spend their time between lessons. It’s nothing fancy, just a bit of open space where they can get some fresh air and play. The 110015 area is a busy hub, and the school is right in the middle of it all. We have many students who come from the nearby blocks, so there’s always a strong sense of community here. The staff often knows the families by name, which makes it feel less like a big institution and more like a local gathering place. During the rainy season, we have to keep an eye out for leaks in some of the older parts of the roof. It’s an ongoing task to keep everything in working order, but we do what we can. It’s a simple place with a lot of local history.
