Asharam Ratanlal Inter College

Asharam Ratanlal Inter College is out in Village Jarar which is part of the Bah Tahsil in Agra district. It’s a bit of a drive from the main Agra city but for the people living in Bah it’s a local landmark. The college sits in a rural setting where things move a bit slower than in the city. Most of our students are from farming families in the surrounding villages. They often walk long distances or come on bicycles to reach us every morning. The building is a simple structure that has been added to over the years as we needed more space. We don't have fancy equipment or high-tech setups. It’s mostly just classrooms with blackboards and a small office where we keep the records. The staff consists of people who are dedicated to helping the local youth get their intermediate education. In the winter months it gets quite cold and we sometimes have to adjust the timings. Life in the village is reflected in how we run the college. It’s honest and straightforward work. We don't use any promotional language because everyone in the Tahsil already knows who we are. We just focus on the curriculum and making sure the students are prepared for their future. It’s a quiet place for the most part except when the bells ring for the end of the day and everyone heads home.
