Panini Kanya Maha Vidyalaya

Panini Kanya Maha Vidyalaya is located at B-38/77-A in Tulsipur, Varanasi. This is an older part of the city, so the lanes can be a bit narrow and winding. The school is a place for girls to come and do their studies. It’s a very grounded atmosphere here. We have a traditional building with several rooms and a central area where people often gather. The walls are thick, which is good for keeping the Varanasi heat out during the middle of the day. We have benches and desks that have been here for years. You can often hear the sound of the city outside, like temple bells or people talking in the streets. We don’t have a lot of modern gadgets; we mostly stick to books and paper. The staff here are mostly local women who have been part of the community for a long time. We spend our days making sure the students have a quiet place to read and write. There’s a small space where we keep our files and some old records in metal cabinets. It’s not a place for anything flashy. We focus on the daily routine and making sure the school stays open and running. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just open the windows wider. It’s a very simple and honest way of running a school. Most people around Tulsipur know where we are if you ask them.
