Veena Pani Hindi Me School

Veena Pani Hindi Me School in Rayagada. It’s right here in the main part of town, 765001. We’ve been running this place for a while now. Most days start pretty early because the kids arrive before the sun gets too hot. Rayagada can be quite a warm place, you know. Our building isn't anything fancy, just some rooms where we sit and go through the Hindi lessons. We focus on that because it’s what the families here need. Sometimes the fans make a lot of noise, and we have to shout a bit to be heard over them. It’s a busy spot. You’ll see parents dropping their children off on bikes or just walking them to the gate. We have a small area where they play during the break, though it gets a bit dusty when it hasn't rained in a few weeks. The teachers here are mostly from around this area, so everyone knows each other. It’s more like a big family than a formal office. We don't have big glossy brochures or anything like that. People just hear about us from their neighbors. It gets loud when the bell rings for lunch. Some kids bring their tiffin from home and sit under the shade. We try to keep the place clean, but with so many feet coming in and out, there’s always some dirt. It’s just how it is. We keep the books in the cupboards and try to make sure every student has what they need for the day's work.
