Chanakya School

Chanakya School is tucked away in the Sukhramnagar 2 area, right off the Kotharia Main Road here in Rajkot. It’s a busy part of town, so there is always noise from the street, but once you step inside, it’s all about the students. We’ve been operating out of this Harikhava Road spot for a good while. It isn't a huge campus with a stadium or anything like that. It is just a solid building where we try to teach the kids what they need to know. The rooms are filled with old wooden benches and charts on the walls. We see a lot of traffic on the main road outside, but the kids don't seem to mind. Most of our staff lives nearby, so we are all part of the same neighborhood. It’s practical here. We don’t spend much on flashy decorations because we’d rather just keep the lights on and the books updated. Sometimes the roof needs a bit of a fix after the rains, and the playground is mostly just dirt, but the children play hard anyway. You’ll find us busy from early morning until the final bell rings in the afternoon. It’s a local Rajkot school through and through. Nothing too complicated about it. We just show up every day and do the work. The teachers mostly walk to work or take the bus, and the atmosphere is pretty relaxed despite the noise from the road.
