Shri Ramchandra Sarraf Girls Inter College

Being located at 86 Chhaa Pipal Mandi in Agra means we are right in the thick of the old city life. This college has been around for years, and the building definitely shows its age in some spots, but it has a lot of character. The girls who come here are mostly from the nearby streets and mohallas. You see them walking in groups every morning through the crowded lanes. Inside, it is a bit quieter than the market outside, but not by much. We have high gates and a small courtyard where everyone gathers for the morning assembly. The rooms are large with old windows that let in a bit of a breeze if we are lucky. Teaching here is about being practical and helping the students get through their exams. Our teachers have been with us for a long time, and they know the families of the students quite well. It feels more like a big community center than just a school sometimes. The address is easy to find if you know the Pipal Mandi area, though the traffic can be a nightmare in the afternoons when school lets out. We just try to provide a steady place for the girls to learn without making a big fuss about things. It is an honest living for us and a place for them to grow up and get their education in a familiar environment where they feel comfortable.
