Adarsh Nivasi Shala

Our place is located at 2 Paliya Road in Pavijetpur. It’s a bit of a drive if you’re coming from the center of Vadodara, but we like being out here. We’re a residential school, so the kids actually live here with us for most of the year. This means the building never really sleeps. There is always someone in the halls or something happening in the kitchen. The kitchen staff stays busy from early morning until late at night. It’s a practical setup, nothing too fancy, with simple dorms and classrooms that have seen a lot of use over the years. We try to keep the grounds looking decent, though the grass gets a bit wild during the rainy season. Being on Paliya Road makes us easy to find for parents coming to visit. We have a lot of routines here because that’s the only way to keep a group of students organized. Some days are harder than others, especially when the weather is bad or someone gets homesick. But we just keep moving forward. We don't spend money on big ads or shiny brochures. Most people hear about us from their neighbors or relatives. It’s a plain, honest place where we just try to do our jobs. The building is older, and the paint is peeling in a few spots, but it feels lived in and real. That’s how we like it. We have a small garden area too.
