Rao Man Singh Sr. Sec. School

You’ll find us over in Roshan Pura on Paprawat Road. Najafgarh is a busy place and we are right in the middle of it. The school is a senior secondary one, so we have the older kids as well as the younger ones. It makes for a lot of different energy levels in the halls. Some days are smoother than others. We spend a lot of time just making sure the classrooms are ready and the schedules are followed. It’s a lot of paperwork and making sure the kids are actually where they are supposed to be. Paprawat Road can get quite congested during drop-off and pick-up times, so that’s always a bit of a scramble. We’ve got a staff that’s been around for years. They know the families and the siblings who come through after their older brothers or sisters. It’s a practical sort of place. We don't use a lot of big words or try to sound more important than we are. We just open the doors, teach the lessons, and make sure the place stays standing. There's always something to fix, whether it's a leaky tap or a broken chair. We just keep at it because the kids need a place to go. Being in Roshan Pura, we feel very tied to the local streets and the people here. It’s just a normal school doing its job every day.
