Bamboo Bridge

• It rains so much in some north eastern states like Assam, Meghalaya etc. that sometimes after the rain , there is knee high water every where. But that does not stop children from going to school .They hold their books in one hand and bamboo with the other. They quickly cross the bamboo and rope bridge to reach school as they are habitual of doing so.

Cement Bridge

• Children often need to go across some water bodies to reach the school, so they use Cement bridges.These are made of cement,bricks and iron rods.These bridges may also have steps.

The Trolley

• children have to cross the rivers which are wide and deep to get to schools specially in Ladakh. There used to be a strong iron rope across the river .On both the sides it is tied tightly with strong trees or rocks. There is a trolley attached with the rope. Four or five children sit in the trolley.A pulley helps the trolley to move across the rope. In this way they reach the other side of the river in a short time.

Vallam

• In some parts of Kerala,children use small wooden boats to reach school.These boats are called Vallam.

Camel Cart

• The children who live in desert, ride in a camel cart to reach school because there is sand all around and it gets very hot in the day.

Bullock Cart

• The children of the villages in plain areas ride in their bullock carts to reach the school. They go slowly through the green fields.If the weather is too hot or rainy they use umbrellas.

Bicycle ride

• There are some parts where girls were not allowed to go to school because it was too far.But now girls ride their bicycles even through long and difficult roads to reach the school.

Jugad

• In some parts of the country a special vehicle which is called a Jugad is used by the children to reach the school.Its front looks like a motorcycle but the carriage at the back is made out of planks of wood.

Children cross the Jungle to reach the school.

• At some places of India there are thick forests.The children have to go through these to reach school.These forests are so thick that even sunlight does not pass through.It is also very silient there and you can only here the sounds of different birds and other creatures.

Moving on the snow

• In some parts of the country the children go to school through miles of snow.They hold hands and walk carefully.If the snow is soft their feet sink into it and when the snow is frozen they may slip and fall.

Rocky Paths of Uttarakhand

The children who live in the mountains reach the school by racing up and down easily through rocky and uneven path whereas the children in the plains will find it difficult to walk on.
