Bhagwan Mahaveer College

We are situated out on Asada Road in the Dev Nagar area of Balotra. It is a part of Rajasthan where it gets quite dusty and hot, so our building is a bit of a refuge from the sun during the middle of the day. The college isn't hard to find if you are heading down that main road. We have a decent-sized gate and a courtyard where students gather when they aren't in their rooms. The classrooms are pretty simple, just the usual rows of benches and whiteboards. We have a lot of local kids from around Balotra and the nearby villages who come here. It is a quiet place most of the time, except during the breaks when everyone is out talking at once. We don't have a lot of fancy gadgets or modern art on the walls. It is just a functional building where people come to get an education. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just have to wait it out or open the windows for some air. Life here is slow and steady. We know most of the people who walk through the doors by their first names. It is not like those big city universities where no one knows anyone. Here, it feels more like a community. We just focus on the classes and making sure the exams get handled properly.
