Thakur Vishambhar Singh Inter College

Our college is situated right near NH 2 in the Guajini area of Kanpur. Being so close to the highway means there is a constant sound of trucks and cars passing by, which has just become background noise to us over the years. Thakur Vishambhar Singh Inter College is a place for students who are finishing their schooling. We have a large building with plenty of rooms, though some of them could probably use a fresh coat of paint. The routine here is very disciplined. Students arrive in their uniforms, and the morning assembly is held in the main courtyard. We spend our time managing the classes and making sure the teachers have what they need for the day. It’s a very local operation. We don’t have a fancy board of directors in some distant city; we just have the principal and the office staff who handle everything on-site. Kanpur is a busy, industrial city, and our college reflects that hardworking spirit. During the board exams, the atmosphere gets very quiet and serious. Other times, it’s just the usual chaos of teenagers hanging out in the hallways between periods. We deal with leaky taps and dusty benches just like any other local school. It is an honest place where we focus on the daily task of teaching. We are just a part of the Guajini landscape, helping the local youth get through their intermediate years.
