D A V Alok Public School

D A V Alok Public School is located out on Naya Sarai Road in the Pundag area of Ranchi. If you are driving through Pundag, you’ve likely seen the building. It sits right there near the road. It’s a place where kids from all around the 834004 zip code come every morning. The atmosphere is pretty straightforward. We have the usual stuff you’d find in a school—desks, chairs, and teachers trying to keep things in order. The playground isn't massive, but it's enough for the kids to run around during their break. We see a lot of dust during the dry months because of the road nearby, but that’s just how it is in this part of Ranchi. Some of us have been working here for years, watching the younger ones grow up and eventually leave. It’s a steady kind of life. We spend the hours on daily lessons and making sure everyone stays on track with their studies. There’s no big corporate office behind us, just the people who show up every day to teach. We have a small staff room where we drink tea and talk about the day's events. Sometimes the power goes out, and we just open the windows to let the breeze in. It’s a basic, functional school serving the local families in this part of town. We don’t try to be something we’re not. The school gate stays open until the last student leaves in the afternoon.
