Uttar Buniyadi Vidyalaya

Uttar Buniyadi Vidyalaya is located in Dharampur, which is in the Valsad district. The pincode is 396050. We are sitting at address number 2 in the area. It is a school that serves the local community here in Gujarat. Things are pretty quiet in Dharampur compared to the bigger cities, which is good for a school environment. We have a simple building with classrooms that have seen many years of students. The daily routine is what keeps us going. We start early in the morning when the sun is just coming up. The teachers arrive and get the chalk and boards ready. We don't have a lot of high-tech gadgets, just the basic stuff that works for us. Most of the children walk to school from the nearby houses in Valsad. We see the same faces every day and know most of the families by now. It’s a very local atmosphere where everyone helps out a bit. The playground is just a patch of ground where the kids play during their break time. We don't put on any airs about being something we aren't. It’s just a school in Dharampur trying to do a decent job. We keep the place tidy and make sure the bells ring on time. That is pretty much our whole day, every day. It’s a steady life and we are happy to be part of the community here. The gates open at the same time every morning without fail.
