In a district without rail connectivity, a unique “train” has captured the imagination of local students, offering an innovative way to boost school attendance. The “train” has made its way to Kandikatkoor village in Ellanthakunta Mandal, Rajanna Sirisilla district — but there’s no railway track to be found.
This “train” isn’t a real locomotive; it’s a creatively designed school modeled after a train, where students attend classes every day. By 8 a.m., children eagerly run to board this train, marking the beginning of their educational journey. During breaks, they step out onto the platform to have fun and explore the train’s compartments. Teachers and the school principal also remain on the train throughout the day.
Wondering how this imaginative school came to life? The idea behind the “Education Train” was to make learning more appealing to children. Kandikatkoor’s primary school, once housed in an old building that failed to attract students, now features vibrant, colorful designs and murals of animals and cartoons, transforming it into a visually exciting space. The school’s new design resembles a railway station, creating a lively, child-friendly atmosphere.

This initiative was driven by the local administration and villagers, who collaborated to design the school as a “train” complete with an engine and platform. The transformation aims to draw children who were previously reluctant to attend school. The school now attracts large numbers of students who are excited to be part of this unique learning environment. Visitors from outside the village are often surprised, thinking the structure is a real train.
The principal of the school shared that these creative changes have had a positive impact, making school a fun place for students while also enhancing the role of teachers as role models. With this imaginative approach, Kandikatkoor’s “Education Train” is helping students stay engaged and eager to learn.
