Satya Bharti School, Nangal Mundi, has just three classrooms for the students of classes I to V who study here in two shifts. But the rooms are large, airy and clean, and decorated with colourful cut-outs of alphabets and fruits.
The school has six teachers who use aids such as flash cards and instructional CDs played on laptops to teach the around 130 children on the rolls. There's a well-tended lawn, a sand pit and a computer that students are allowed operate on their own.
The toilets -- separate for boys and girls -- are squeaky clean. How many primary schools in even the big metros can boast of all these facilities?
Nangal Mundi, however, is no city or even a town; it's a village of 2,000 on the cusp of rural and urban in Haryana's Rewari district.
Satya Bharti School, too, is no private school charging hefty fees, but a charitable one run by the Bharti Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Mittals, for poor students.
