Shri Karodi Swami Gangadhar Lal Inter College

Shri Karodi Swami Gangadhar Lal Inter College is out in Tantpur, which is a good distance away from the main Agra city center. It’s a long name for a school, but most of the local people just call it the college by the road. We have a good amount of space out here in the countryside. The buildings are spread out and we have some open ground where the students can play during their breaks. It’s mostly a rural crowd that comes here. The kids walk in from the nearby farms and small villages. For many of them, this is the first time anyone in their family has attended an inter college. Our classrooms are very simple. We don't have any air conditioning or fancy computer setups in every room. It’s mostly just the teacher, the students, and the blackboard. The staff comes in from different parts of the district every morning. We spend our breaks in the staff room talking about the local news or how the weather is affecting the crops. It’s a very practical sort of place. We don't have a big budget for fancy decorations, so we just try to keep the place clean and functional. The office is usually full of people waiting to talk about admissions or their kids' progress. It can get pretty loud when the classes change, but that’s just life with so many young people around. We just provide a place for them to study and hopefully do well.
