Aacharaya Drona Gurukulam

Building number 458 in Ghorawal is where you will find Aacharaya Drona Gurukulam. Sonbhadra is a different kind of place, a bit rugged and hilly in spots. The Gurukulam is tucked away here. It is not one of those modern glass and steel buildings you see in the big cities. It has a much more traditional feel to it. We follow a bit of an older way of doing things here. The classrooms are very basic and functional. We have students who come from all the surrounding parts of the Sonbhadra district. Life here is very steady and quiet. We do not have many distractions around us. The street outside is usually silent except for the occasional local traffic. We spend a lot of time on the basic subjects. It is called a Gurukulam because we like that sense of focus. The address is simple enough to find once you are in Ghorawal. We have a small office where we keep all our records in paper files. Most of the teaching happens in simple rooms with benches. We do not use much fancy technology or computers. It is more about the books and the teachers talking to the students. The staff lives nearby and we have a routine that starts quite early in the morning. The winters can get a bit cold, so we all wrap up in sweaters. It is just a place for students to come and stay focused on their learning without any fuss.
