Shri Koshan Lal Memorial Inter College

Shri Koshan Lal Memorial Inter College sits right on Sikandra Road in Agra. If you are driving past, you can’t miss the gate. We’ve been part of this neighborhood for quite some time now. It is an inter college, so we have the older students finishing up their 11th and 12th grades. The building has that older style of construction you see around Agra, with thick walls and high ceilings. It stays relatively cool inside, which is a relief during the summer months. Our classrooms are filled with those long wooden desks where three or four students squeeze in together. We have a staff room where the teachers sit and drink tea while grading papers between their classes. It is a busy place. You will see a lot of bicycles parked in the corner of the yard because that is how most of our boys and girls get here. The road outside is always noisy with traffic, but once you are inside the courtyard, it feels a bit more secluded. We have a small laboratory for science practicals, though the equipment is a bit dated and we have to be careful with the glass jars. We do not spend much on marketing or making things look shiny. It is just a place for study and getting those certificates so the kids can move on to university. We keep the registers updated and make sure the attendance is taken every morning without fail.
