Jai Jawan Jai Kisan Boys Military School And Junior College

The Jai Jawan Jai Kisan Boys Military School And Junior College sits out on Bijapur Road in Solapur. It’s located at Survey No 18/2, which is a bit of a drive from the main city center. Things start very early here. You can see the boys out on the grounds while the sun is still coming up. There is a lot of dust that kicks up from the drill field when they are marching. The uniforms have to be kept clean, which is a task given how much time is spent outside. It’s a junior college too, so it isn't just about the physical stuff; there are plenty of hours spent sitting in classrooms. The building is sturdy and looks like what you’d expect for a military-style setup. In the afternoons, the heat in Solapur can get quite intense, so the shade under the trees is a popular spot during the few minutes of rest. We don't have a lot of frills here. It is mostly about the routine of waking up, eating in the mess hall, and getting through the lessons. The staff stays busy managing the dorms and making sure the kitchen has enough grain and vegetables for the week. It’s a loud place when the boys are moving between buildings, but it gets very quiet at night. People in the Bijapur Road area know us by the sound of the bugle or the whistles during the day.
