Kopal College

Our college is located out on Neelbad Road, past the Bhadbhada Road area in Bhopal. It is a bit of a drive from the main city, situated in Arkhedi Kalan. Because we are a bit further out, it is much quieter than the colleges in the middle of Bhopal. You mostly see fields and open space around us. The building is a decent size, and we have enough room for the different departments and a bit of a grounds area. Students usually come by bus or their own bikes because of the distance. We have been here for some years now, slowly adding bits to the building when we can afford to. It is not a polished, high-tech campus. It is a place where you will see some cracked tiles and paint that needs a fresh coat. The staff room is always full of files and people drinking tea while they talk about the day's schedule. We do not have a PR person writing things for us. We just handle everything ourselves, from the admissions to checking the electricity bills. It is a very hands-on way of doing things. In the rainy season, the road can get a bit muddy, but we all manage to get here eventually. It is just a normal college where people from the nearby villages and the city come to study. We keep things simple and try to keep the place running smoothly for everyone every day.
