Abhay Pratap Singh Degree College

The college is right here on Kunwarpur Road in Bindki. It's a plain building, nothing too fancy to look at from the outside, but it gets the job done for the students coming in from around Fatehpur. Most days start pretty early when the gates open. You'll see the young folks walking up the road, some on bikes, others just walking in groups chatting about their exams or whatever else is on their minds. Inside, the hallways are usually a bit noisy until the classes actually start. We spend a lot of time just keeping the place tidy and making sure there are enough chairs for everyone. It's not like those big city universities you see on TV with glass walls and stuff. It’s more down to earth. Sometimes the power goes out and we just have to wait it out or open the windows wider to let the breeze in from the Uttar Pradesh heat. The staff here are mostly local people who have lived in the area for years. We know the families and the shops nearby. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except when it's admission time or during the big sports days. Then things get a bit hectic around the office. We just try to keep things moving along so the kids can get their degrees and find some work later on. That’s pretty much how it goes here day after day at Abhay Pratap Singh Degree College.
