Kendriya Vidyalaya No 1, Surat

Kendriya Vidyalaya No 1, Surat is located out in Ichhanath. It’s a well-known spot in this part of the city, and many people have some connection to it. The school sits on a decent piece of land, and we have the usual government-style buildings that are sturdy and functional. Life here is pretty straightforward. We follow the national guidelines and make sure our students get through their exams. The staff comes from all over, which is common for a school like ours. In the mornings, you can see the students in their uniforms heading toward the gates, often chatting about their homework or the last cricket match. Ichhanath is a nice area, and being here feels right for a school of this size. We don’t go in for fancy decorations or promotional events. The focus is always on the classroom and the playground. It can get quite hot in Surat, so the fans are always going in the rooms. We’ve seen a lot of changes in the city over the years, but the daily routine at the school stays mostly the same. Teachers arrive, the bell rings, and the lessons start. It’s a place where hard work is expected but in a very human, everyday kind of way. We have our fair share of busy days and quiet ones. It’s just a regular school where people come to do their work and then head home. The grounds are kept tidy enough, and there's usually some activity near the sports area.
