Baghavan Sri Ramakrishna High School

You can find us on Mariamman Koil Street in Vepamangalam. It’s a bit of a long address with Thennal Po and Kandamangalam nearby, but it’s right here in the Villupuram area. Baghavan Sri Ramakrishna High School is a place where we just get on with things. The school sits in a spot that feels very connected to the local life here in Pondicherry and Puducherry. It’s a high school, so the teenagers are always around, talking in groups or rushing to their next class. The building itself is sturdy and does the job. We have plenty of windows to let the air in because it gets quite hot in the afternoons. It’s not a quiet place by any means. There’s always a bell ringing or a teacher calling out to a student. We don't use any fancy gadgets or expensive equipment. It’s just books, chalk, and hard work. The families around here trust us because we’ve been part of the landscape for a while. We know the parents and we know the kids. It’s a local school through and through. There’s a certain rhythm to the day that everyone follows. We start early and finish when the sun is still high. It’s a practical place for students to learn what they need to. No frills, just a regular high school in a busy street for the local people. It is how things have always been here.
