Ram Kumar Kashyap Inter College

Our college is located in Gutaiha, which is part of the Rura area in Kanpur. It is a rural setting, so things move a bit slower here than in the big city. Ram Kumar Kashyap Inter College is a place where local students come for their secondary education. The building is basic, made of brick and mortar, and it has seen a lot of seasons. We have a large open space around the building where the kids can gather. During the winter, it gets quite cold, and we all have to wrap up well. In the summer, the heat is pretty intense, but we have some trees that provide a bit of shade. The classrooms have simple wooden benches that have been around for years. We don't have many modern gadgets; it’s mostly just chalk and boards. The road to the college can be a bit rough, especially after it rains. Our staff are mostly local people who understand the challenges of living and working in this part of Kanpur. We spend our days teaching the lessons and managing the daily chores that come with running a school in a village. It’s hard work, but it’s what we do. We just try to keep the doors open and the classes running as best as we can. Every day brings a new set of small problems to solve, but that is just how things go.
