Sri Chaitanya Techno School

Sri Chaitanya Techno School is located in Palakoderu, which is in the West Godavari district. It’s a bit of a rural setting but the school itself is always bustling with activity from early morning. We have a gated compound that keeps the noise of the local traffic out while the students are in class. The building is a simple, multi-story structure with a lot of windows to let in the air, which is helpful during the humid months in Andhra Pradesh. In the morning, you can see students arriving on bicycles or being dropped off by their parents at the main entrance. We have a routine that we follow every day, starting with the assembly in the open space near the entrance. The classrooms are filled with the sound of teachers explaining lessons and students writing in their workbooks. We have a small area where students can eat their lunch, usually consisting of rice and curries brought from home in steel tiffins. The teachers here are dedicated people who have been working in this area for a long time and know the families well. We don't have any elaborate gardens, just a few potted plants near the office door. The focus is really just on the day-to-day work of running a school in a small town like Palakoderu. We make sure the gates are shut during school hours and that everything is kept in decent order. It’s a practical, no-nonsense kind of place.
