Raja Balwant Singh Inter College

Our college sits on Khandari Road in the Civil Lines area of Agra. It’s a very established part of the city, and the college itself has a long history. You can tell by the way the buildings look—they have that older, sturdy feel to them. We are right in the Sadar tehsil, so there is always a lot of administrative activity nearby. The road outside is constantly busy with rickshaws and cars, but once you step inside the gates, it feels a bit more secluded. We have large classrooms with high ceilings that help with the ventilation. The students come from all over Agra to study here. We have a lot of different departments and the hallways can be quite a maze if you aren't used to them. The staff room is a busy place where people are always marking papers or planning the next set of internal exams. We don't go for anything flashy; we just focus on the daily routine of teaching. The playground is a big part of the campus, and you’ll often see students practicing sports there in the late afternoon. Maintaining an old building like this takes a lot of effort, and there is always some part of it that needs a bit of paint or a minor repair. It’s a place with a lot of character, and we are just here to keep the doors open and the lessons going.
