Nagarpalika School

We’re located at No 845 K2 in Kadayam, out here in Tirunelveli. It’s a quiet area mostly, which is good for a school. We’ve been serving the local community here for a long time. People around here know the building well. It’s not a huge place, but we make the most of the space we have. Every morning, the gates open and the kids come in from the surrounding houses. We don’t have a lot of fancy equipment, but we have enough to teach the basics. Our teachers are mostly local folks who care about what happens to the children here. We deal with the usual daily problems, like a broken chair or needing more chalk. It’s a very hands-on way of running things. We don’t have a big office with a secretary to answer every call; usually, one of us just picks up the phone when we aren't busy with a class. The parents are our neighbors, so we see them at the shops or on the street all the time. It makes for a very honest relationship. We tell them if their kid is acting up or if they’re doing well. There’s no corporate talk or polished reports. We just do the best we can with what’s available. It’s a simple life and a simple school, and that’s how we like it. We just want to make sure the kids in Kadayam get their chance to learn.
