Dr. Ambedkar Nagar Ist School

Over at 50-49-28 in the T.P.T. Colony, you’ll find Dr. Ambedkar Nagar Ist School. This is another part of Seethammadhara here in Visakhapatnam. The colony is a bit more settled, with a lot of people who have lived here for decades. Our school is right in the thick of it. In the mornings, you can see the milkmen finishing their rounds just as we are opening the gates. It’s a very grounded kind of place. We have classrooms that are a bit small, but they fit everyone well enough. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but they’ve seen a lot of history. We don’t really do much in the way of promotion or advertising. Most people know we are here just by walking past. The sound of children reciting their lessons often carries out into the street. It’s a busy atmosphere during the day, with teachers moving between rooms and the office staff trying to keep all the paperwork straight. We don't have any grand statements to make about what we do. We just come in, do the teaching, and make sure the building is locked up tight at night. It’s a lot of routine, but it’s a good routine. When the weekend comes, the whole place feels very still, waiting for Monday morning to start the whole cycle over again in T.P.T. Colony. It is just a normal school for the people living nearby.
