Ram Ratna International School

Ram Ratna International School is located out at Keshav Srushti on Gorai Road in Uttan, Bhayander West. It’s quite a journey to get out here if you’re coming from the main city. The area is much greener than most parts of Mumbai. We are surrounded by a lot of open space and trees. It’s a bit of a change from the usual concrete. The school is part of a larger campus, so there’s always something going on. We see birds and sometimes even small animals around the grounds. The air feels different here, especially in the early morning. We spend a lot of time looking after the plants and making sure the walkways are clear. It can get quite hot in the sun because there aren’t many tall buildings to provide shade. The students arrive on buses from all over the Bhayander area. It’s a long drive for some of them. Inside, the rooms are simple and functional. We don’t go for anything too flashy; we just make sure the fans work and the boards are clean. There’s a lot of walking involved because the place is spread out. In the rainy season, everything turns very green, but the mud can be a bit of a problem for the cleaners. We just deal with it as it comes. It’s a quiet place to work compared to the busy city center. We like the peace of being out on Gorai Road. It feels like our own little world away from the noise.
