Vidhya Vihar High School

If you drive down Ambaji Road in Atkot, you will see the gate for Vidhya Vihar High School. We have been here for many years, serving the people in the 360040 area of Rajkot. It is a high school, so we deal with students who are preparing for their future. The building is a bit old-fashioned, with long corridors and high ceilings that help keep things a bit cooler during the summer months. We don't have air conditioning or fancy labs, but we have everything we need to teach. The routine is the same every day. The students arrive, the morning prayer happens, and then the lessons begin. We have a small staff of teachers who have been working together for a long time. We know each other well and we know the families in Atkot too. Rajkot is a busy region, and Atkot has its own pace of life. We fit right into that. Sometimes the traffic on Ambaji Road makes a lot of noise, but we just close the windows and carry on. We handle all our own administration and maintenance. If a lightbulb goes out, one of us gets a ladder and changes it. It is a very grounded way to run a school. We are not interested in being a polished corporate school. We just want to be a reliable place for the kids in our community to get an education. It's pretty simple here and we like the local feel of the place.
