Oss Inter College

Oss Inter College sits right in the middle of Shiv Nagar Nai Basti in Kanpur. If you know that part of town, you know it is mostly narrow lanes and houses built close together. The pin code is 208019 and the college is a big part of the neighborhood landscape. In the mornings, you can hear the bells ringing and the sound of children making their way through the streets. Kanpur is a city that never really stays quiet, and this area is no different. The building itself looks like any other school in Uttar Pradesh, with some paint peeling here and there and desks that have seen a lot of use over the years. We don't have a big fancy entrance or anything like that. It is just a place for learning. The staff mostly lives nearby, so you see them walking to work with their umbrellas when it rains. The kids play in whatever space they can find during the breaks. It gets quite hot in the summer months, and the fans inside the rooms do their best to keep the air moving. People around Shiv Nagar know us by name because we have been here for a good while. It is just a simple school doing its thing every day. You might miss it if you are driving too fast, but for the people living in Nai Basti, it is a landmark they see every single day of the year.
