Starting as a small school with an investment of Rs 30,000 and five teachers in 1992, Poly's dream school now employs 150 teachers and has 2,200 students who attend school from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"I found it very difficult to wake up early morning for school when I was a child. I always wanted to sleep longer," she says, laughing. "I often thought of opening a school where children would come later in the morning and feel relaxed."
But her reluctance to go to school had another reason: She was upset about how some teachers were biased against students who didn't excel at studies.
"I always thought that proper attention must be paid to every child irrespective of their academic ability. A teacher's job is to guide children and not to demoralise or ignore them," says Poly, as we chat inside her office at the school.
