Vidhyaasri Iranna Ganjendragada School

Vidhyaasri Iranna Ganjendragada School is over at Sikhsa Kendra in the Digha area of Patna. If you know the 800012 area, you probably know where we are. It’s a bit of a mouthful of a name, we know, but it’s what we are called. Digha is a busy place and there’s always something happening on the streets. Our school is right in the middle of that local energy. We have kids coming in from all the nearby lanes every morning. The staff usually gets here early to beat the worst of the traffic. It’s not a polished, modern office-style building. It looks like a school where people actually live and work. We have a lot of noise from the street sometimes, but the teachers are used to talking over it. Life in Digha moves at its own pace and we just try to keep up with the kids. We spend a lot of time on the everyday things like making sure the registers are marked and the lessons are planned out on the boards. There’s no big corporate office behind us. It’s just a group of people who care about this neighborhood. Parents come by to talk about their kids' progress or just to say hello while they’re out running errands. It’s a very local way of doing things. We just keep the doors open and try to be a helpful part of the community every day.
