Shri Gendalal Inter College

Shri Gendalal Inter College is located right in Krishna Colony in the Sikandra area of Agra. If you know this part of the city, you know it can get pretty busy. The college building stands there among the houses and local shops. We have students coming in from all over Sikandra and even further out. It’s an inter college, so we deal with the older kids mostly, those finishing up their schooling. The classrooms are basic, with wooden benches that have seen better days, but they are sturdy enough for daily use. In the winter, the mornings are cold and foggy like they always are in Agra, and the students come wrapped in sweaters. We have a routine that we follow every single day without fail. The teachers here have been with us for a long time. They know the subjects and they know how to handle the different personalities of the teenagers. It’s not always quiet; actually, it’s rarely quiet when the classes change over. You can hear the chatter all the way out to the street. We don’t have a big fancy entrance, just the gate into the colony. The staff handles the paperwork in a small office near the front. It’s just a regular place for learning where people work hard. We focus on getting through the syllabus and making sure the exams go okay. That’s really what life is like here at the college in Krishna Colony.
