Ram Ratna Vidya Mandir

Out here in Rai Village, things feel a bit different than the center of Mumbai or Thane. Ram Ratna Vidya Mandir is located on Uttan Road. It’s a place where we spend our days focused on the students and the classes. The air is a little clearer here, which is nice. Our building is a simple structure that has seen a lot of use over the years. We don't have the newest tech or the most modern furniture, but we have enough to keep things going. The daily routine starts early when the sun comes up. You can hear the sounds of the village and the road nearby. We don't have a big public relations department to write about what we do. We just teach and manage the school activities as they come. There’s always something that needs fixing, like a leaky tap or a squeaky door. We just handle those things ourselves or find someone local to help. The teachers and staff are just regular people from the area. We all know each other. It’s a community effort more than a business. We don't make big promises. We just try to provide a decent place for learning and hope the kids get something out of it. It’s honest work and it keeps us all very busy. We just do our best with what we have each day.
