Shanti Agarwal Saraswati Vidya Mandir Inter College

We are located in the Rampur Garden area of Bareilly, right across from the old Prabha Cinema in Civil Lines. It’s a very central part of town, so there is always a lot of traffic and people moving about. The college has been around for a long time, and the building is quite large and traditional. We have students coming here for their intermediate studies, so the place is full of teenagers most of the day. We have regular classrooms with benches and blackboards, nothing very modern. The staff here is a group of local teachers who have been doing this for years. We don't have a big mission statement or anything, we just follow the board's curriculum and try to get the students through their exams. The office stays busy with all the student records and admissions. Some days the noise from the street is a bit much, but you get used to it. We have a small courtyard where the students gather during breaks. It's a very standard school experience, no bells or whistles. We don't do much in the way of fancy advertisements. People in Bareilly know who we are just by the name and the location. We just show up every morning, open the gates, and get to work with the classes. It’s a steady routine that hasn’t changed much over the years, and we just keep it going as best as we can.
