Ekalavaya Model Residential School

We are out here in Antamoda on Main Street. It's a residential setup where the kids live and study. Most of the folks around Rayagada know where we are because we’ve been here quite a while. It’s a busy place during the day, especially when classes are in session. The kids stay here and do their lessons, and we spend a lot of time just keeping everything running smoothly for them. There's always something to fix or a classroom that needs a good tidy up. It isn't a fancy office building or anything polished like that. Just a school where children live and learn together under one roof. The morning bell starts pretty early and the halls get loud until it’s time for bed. It's just how a residential school works. We try to keep things organized but with so many students, things get a bit messy sometimes. That's just how life is here. We have teachers who live nearby and some who stay on site. Sometimes the power goes out or the heavy rain makes a mess of the front yard. We just deal with it as it comes. It's a regular part of being in this part of Rayagada. People drop by to ask about enrollment or just to see how their kids are doing. We don't have a big reception desk, just a front office where someone is usually sitting. We focus on daily stuff, like making sure there is food and the books are ready for tomorrow.
