S.M.K.Junior High School

Down in Chudiyala Mohanpur, which is part of the Haridwar district, you will find our junior high school. The zip code is 247661 if you are looking it up on a map. It is a fairly rural spot, so things are much quieter here than in the main, crowded part of Haridwar city. We have a simple building with a few classrooms that we use for the local kids who live nearby. Most of the people working here are from the surrounding villages, so we all know the families and the neighbors pretty well. We do not have many big facilities or high-tech equipment, but we have enough to get the teaching done. The mornings usually start with everyone gathering outside for a bit before going into the rooms. We focus on the basics because that is what is needed most for the students here. Sometimes the winters get really cold, and we all have to wrap up warm because the old buildings do not hold the heat very well. In the monsoon season, the roads around Chudiyala Mohanpur can get a bit difficult to travel on, but we still make it in to open the doors. It is a humble place, and we do not try to pretend it is anything else. We just want to make sure the kids in this area have a place to go to school. Every day is about checking the books and keeping the place in one piece.
