Veer Pulikeshi Junior College

Veer Pulikeshi Junior College is located at No.42-B on the Main Road, right near the Kulageri Cross in Badami. It’s a busy spot in the Bagalkot district. Being a junior college, we deal with students who are at that awkward age between being kids and becoming adults. They come here to finish their two years of pre-university education. The campus is right on the main road, so there is always the sound of traffic passing by, but we have gotten used to it over the years. We have basic classrooms with benches that have seen many students over the seasons. Our staff is mostly local people who understand the challenges these kids face. We do not have any flashy slogans or big mission statements on the walls. It is just about getting through the syllabus and helping the students pass their exams so they can get into a good degree program later. Sometimes the students sit outside during their free periods, talking about what they want to do with their lives. We try to give them a bit of guidance without being too overbearing. It’s a practical place for practical learning. The location at Kulageri Cross makes it easy for students coming from the surrounding villages to catch a bus and get to class on time. It is just a regular part of life here in Badami.
