A N K Mehta High School

A N K Mehta High School is out in Fatana, which is part of the Porbandar district. Being in a place like Fatana means things are a bit quieter than in the bigger cities. We’ve been the main school for the local area for a long time. Most of the families here have had someone attend this school at some point. The building is a bit older, and it shows its age in some places, but it’s a solid structure. We have a courtyard where everyone gathers in the morning. It can get quite windy here being in Porbandar, so we often have to clear away leaves and dust from the hallways. Our days start pretty early because many of the students have to travel a bit of a distance to get here. The teachers are mostly local people who understand the rhythm of the village. We don't have any high-tech gadgets or modern architecture. It’s just stone walls, wooden desks, and plenty of books. We focus on getting through the syllabus and making sure the kids are learning what they need to. There’s a lot of paperwork to keep up with, and the office is always a bit cluttered with files. It’s a humble place, but it works for us and the people in Fatana. We just take things one day at a time and try to keep the place running smoothly. It is just a regular school for regular people.
