Bharat Sewak Samaj Inter College

If you look for us in Bareilly, we are situated in the Rajpuri Nawada area, specifically within the Thana-Bhuta jurisdiction. It’s a bit of a distance from the main Bareilly city center, which gives us a bit more space. We are an inter college, so we deal with the older students who are finishing up their schooling. The building is quite old and has that classic look with high ceilings and heavy doors. It stays relatively cool inside because of the way it was built, which is a relief in the summer. We have a lot of students coming from the surrounding villages and the local Rajpuri area. The routine here is very steady. We start early, and the day is broken up by the sound of the bell every forty-five minutes. There’s a lot of talk about exams and future plans in the hallways. The teachers have their own small desks tucked into the corners of the staff room, often covered in stacks of notebooks. It’s a very practical environment. We don’t have much in the way of decoration, just the bare essentials for teaching. Outside, there’s enough room for the kids to stand around during the interval. It feels like a very traditional place where things haven't changed much in the last twenty years. People around Thana-Bhuta know the college well, and many of the parents were actually students here themselves back in the day.
