Dr. Chandra Bhan Jr. High School

Dr. Chandra Bhan Jr. High School is located at 49-51-5/1 in Shanti Puram. This part of Visakhapatnam, the 530016 area, has a lot of houses and small businesses all mixed together. Our school is right in the middle of it all. It’s a plain building, nothing too special to look at from the outside, but it’s sturdy and has served us well. We have been here for a while and the neighbors know us well. During the day, you can hear the kids reciting their lessons or playing during the short breaks we have between classes. Shanti Puram is a decent place to work, even if the traffic gets a bit much in the evenings. We don't have a big team of people doing fancy stuff; it’s just us teachers and the caretaker who keeps the place locked up at night. The rooms are a bit small, but we make them work for the students. We keep the registers by hand and try to make sure everyone has what they need for the day. It’s not a polished corporate environment. It’s a school that feels like a real part of the community. We worry about things like making sure the roof doesn't leak when it pours and that the children have enough light to read by. It’s a very practical way to spend our time, and we just keep at it day after day without any big promotional talk or complicated plans.
