Uday Singh Jain Kanya Inter College

Uday Singh Jain Kanya Inter College is situated on Udai Singh Jain Road in the Barahdwari area of Aligarh. It’s an old part of the city, and the streets are always full of life. You can hear the sounds of rickshaws and people talking right outside our gates. Our building is a bit older, with those thick walls that keep the heat out during the summer. Since it’s a girls' college, we have a lot of young women coming in from all parts of Aligarh every morning. They arrive in groups, chatting and carrying their books. We spend a lot of time in the staff room, which is filled with stacks of notebooks and old wooden chairs. It’s not a polished corporate environment; it’s a place where we drink our tea and plan the next period. The classrooms have large windows, but the view is mostly of the busy street or the courtyard. We don't have a big fancy sign, just the one over the main entrance that’s been there for years. The routine is very important to us. We have the same schedule every day, and we stick to it. Between classes, the hallways are full of the sound of feet on the stone floors. Aligarh is a place with a lot of history, and you can feel a bit of that in the way our college runs. We’re just here doing our jobs and helping the students get through their exams.
