Ananya Vidyapetha

Ananya Vidyapetha is situated in Ashoka Nagar, which is a residential part of Shivamogga. It’s a nice enough spot, with plenty of houses around us in the Annanagar area. The school itself isn’t very large, but it fits what we need. We have a few floors with classrooms that look out over the street. In the mornings, you can hear the sound of the children saying their prayers or singing the national anthem. It’s a sound we’ve gotten used to over the years. We have a small staff of teachers who handle everything from the lessons to the playground duties. The kids are usually well-behaved, though they get rowdy during the lunch hour like anywhere else. We have a small library and a room for science stuff, though it’s all very basic. We don’t go out of our way to buy shiny new things if the old ones still work just fine. The desks are sturdy and the blackboards are well-used. We try to keep the place clean, but with so many kids running around, there’s always a bit of dust. Parents often stop by to check on progress or to pay the fees. It’s a very local feel here. We just focus on teaching the children and making sure they understand their lessons before they head home to their families in the evening. It’s a simple routine that works for us and the neighbors. We are just glad to be here in Ashoka Nagar.
