Sri Ramakrishna Viyalaya Jain Matric Higher Secondary School

The school is tucked away on No 5, Subarmaniya Swamy Koil Street in Tirupattur. It’s been sitting here in the Vellore district for quite a long time now. If you walk down the street near the temple, you can’t really miss the sound of children talking and the bell ringing for classes. It is a big building but it feels more like a crowded house sometimes because everyone knows each other. We have the usual classrooms and a courtyard where the kids run around during their breaks. The stairs are a bit narrow and you have to watch your step when the younger ones are rushing down for lunch. We spend most of our days making sure the schedules are followed and that the chalk is stocked up. It gets really dusty around here during the dry season, so we are always dusting off the desks. The staff room is always full of papers and half-finished cups of coffee. We don't have all the high-tech stuff some of the city schools have, but the fans work most of the time and the windows stay open to catch whatever breeze comes through. It’s a bit of a maze inside if you aren't used to it. Parents are always coming in and out to check on things or pay fees. We just keep things moving one day at a time here in Tirupattur and try to stay organized.
