Laxmi Inter College

Laxmi Inter College is out in Village Karahara. We are part of the Kiraoli Tehsil here in the Agra district. The post office is also called Karahara, and our pin code is 283105. It is a quiet area compared to the main city of Agra. We have a good amount of space for the building and the ground around it. The students come from the village and nearby places. Many of them walk or come on cycles. It can get quite dusty since the roads are not all paved around here. We start early in the morning before the sun gets too strong. The classrooms are basic, with wooden benches and blackboards. We have a small office where we keep the records and the registers. There is a tree in the middle of the courtyard where people sit in the shade. Sometimes the power goes out, so we just open the windows for some air. It is a local place, and everyone knows everyone else’s family. We spend our days teaching and making sure the kids are where they should be. During the rainy season, the ground gets a bit muddy, but we manage. We don’t have fancy equipment, just the books and the space to talk. It is a simple life here in the village. We finish up in the early afternoon so everyone can get back home before it gets dark. We tidy the desks and lock the gate.
