Ankuram Where Knowledge Sprouts

Ankuram Where Knowledge Sprouts is located at 28/40 A 10 on Taktakpur Road. We are right in the Taktakpur area of Varanasi. It’s a part of town that has its own pace. The school is a place where we spend our whole day, from the early morning shift until the last student leaves. We chose the name Ankuram because it felt right for what we do here. The building is functional. We have classrooms that get plenty of light, and we try to keep things organized despite the chaos that usually comes with a school full of students. Varanasi can be a noisy city, but once you’re inside our gates, it feels a bit more settled. We do all the work ourselves, from managing the admissions to making sure the drinking water is topped up. There aren't any big bosses in suits here. We are just teachers and staff members who live nearby. We know the shortcut through Taktakpur Road and which local shops have the best stationery. Running a school like this takes a lot of patience. We have to deal with the heat in the summer and the dust from the road, but we keep the place running because it’s important for the kids around here. It’s a practical, local school where we focus on the day-to-day reality of education. Every year we see new kids and the cycle starts again. This is our corner of Varanasi, 221002.
