Vidhya Devi Inter College

This college is located in Vill Kota in the Hathras district. It is a bit out of the main town, sitting in a more rural spot. We get students from the village and some from the nearby areas as well. The building is quite old and has a lot of character from the years it has been standing. We have classrooms for the older students since it is an inter college. Life here moves a bit slower than in the big cities. We start early in the morning before it gets too hot for everyone. There is a lot of dust because of the location and the dirt roads, so we are always sweeping the floors. The teachers come in from different parts of Hathras every day. We do not have much in the way of fancy equipment, but we have enough books and benches for everyone to sit and study. Most of our students are hard-working kids from farming families. They come here to get their education so they can find good work later on. We do not even have a website; people just know who we are. It is a simple place with a lot of history in this village. We focus on the exams and making sure everyone passes their subjects. Sometimes we have to deal with power cuts, but we just open the windows and keep going with the lessons.
