I am a student of Sarvodaya Senior Secondary School, New Delhi. I am a student of 9th Class, section A. It is a Delhi Administration school and one of the best schools in Delhi. I am really proud of my school. The school has a big and beautiful brick and stone building. It is pink in colour and double-stroyed. It has about 40 rooms, a hall and an office complex. The hall activities are held here. It has also get a big and spacious open stage on which are held shows and debates etc. There is a small garden also where are grown many kinds of trees. A gardner and his assistant look after the condition. Students also help them in keeping the garden in good condition. Behind the school building is the vast playground where we play football, volley ball, hockey, badminton, kabaddi, kho-kho etc.

There is a very good library housed in a small hall. There are daily newspapers and magazines. We can borrow books from there for a week. We go there in our library period and enjoy reading magazines and newspapers. The books increase our knowledge and provide us with healthy entertainment. Our librarian is very helpful and guides us in selecting right kind of books and magazines. Then there is a big science laboratory well equipped with instruments and apparatus required for experiments.

Ours is a co-educational school where boys and girls study together. This gives us an opportunity to know each other well and appreciate one another?s feelings and emotions. But the number of girl students is comparatively less. There are three girl students after every 5boy students. The teachers are highly qualified and experienced. They take keen interest in teaching and making us good and useful citizens of the country. The principal of the school is not only highly qualified but also very reputed. He has won a number of state and National awards as the principal of our school. He is a strict disciplinarian. He never tolerates any indiscipline or laxity. His life and work inspire us to follow him. He is very punctual, smart, gentle and loves us like his own sons and daughters. He also teaches XII class students both English and Hindi as he is M.A. in English and Hindi.

Our school starts in the morning at 8 o? clock with assembly. First there is prayer accompanied by music on the drum and harmonium. Then there is a short instructive talk or a moral story by one of the teachers. Sometimes we are told the headlines of the newspapers. Then there is mass drill and exercise just for 15 minutes accompanied by beating on the drum. Attendance in the morning assembly is compulsory and late comers are punished. The Vice-Principal is also very nice and well-qualified.

Our school has a good academic and sports record. In Board results it has made a high mark. Every year in the Board Examination, many of our students secure merits and positions. In games and sports also it has won many trophies, medals and certificates. In debates also its reputation and standing make us proud. Every year there is an inter school take part in it. Last year, I stood second in the inter school debate and third in the elocution contest. This year I hope to improve my position. We are also taught yoga there. To sum up, my school compares favourably even with expensive public schools. There is emphasis on character building and all round development of our personality and mere book learning is never encouraged.
