Maruti Nandan Academy

Maruti Nandan Academy is located right on the Chapra Marhourah Main Road in the Mirzapur area of Saran. Because we are right on the main road, it’s never really quiet here. You can always hear the trucks and the buses rumbling past the front gate. It’s a bit dusty, as you can imagine, so we spend a lot of time sweeping the front steps and the classrooms. The building is a solid, no-nonsense structure with a flat roof where we sometimes go if we need a bit of air. Inside, it’s all very functional. We have benches, desks, and cupboards full of old registers. We don’t have air conditioning or anything like that, just heavy ceiling fans that hum all day long. The teachers here come from around Saran and they usually bring their lunch in steel tiffins. We don't have a big canteen, so everyone just eats in their classrooms or out in the small patch of ground we have. It’s a very straightforward way of running things. We don't have any marketing people or polished speeches. If a parent wants to talk, they just come in and find us. We deal with the daily issues, like a broken light or a missing textbook, and just keep moving forward. It is a busy, practical school that serves the families living along this stretch of road and we have been doing this for many years now.
