Ap Social Welfare Residential Schools

Out in Bandangi, things are a lot quieter than the main Vizianagaram town. Our school is part of the AP Social Welfare Residential Schools network, and we share the space with the KGBV school here. It’s a rural setting, so we are surrounded by a bit more nature than most schools. The daily life here is very structured because the students live on the premises. We start our mornings early with the sound of voices in the courtyard. The buildings are plain and functional, with wide corridors that stay relatively cool. We spend a lot of our time managing the residential side of things, like the kitchen supplies and the dorm maintenance. It’s not a place with a lot of modern luxuries, but we have what we need to get through the school year. The walk to the main road takes a bit of time, so we are quite self-contained. You’ll find the staff sitting in the office area most afternoons, catching up on the attendance books. We don't have much in the way of fancy equipment, just the standard blackboards and wooden benches. The kids spend their evenings playing in the open areas before heading in for dinner. It’s a peaceful kind of existence at 531202. We just focus on the daily needs of the students and keeping the place running as best as we can with what we have available.
