Sharda Devi Inter College

Sharda Devi Inter College is tucked away in Village Nawdiha Tarhar, which is in the Naudhiya Tarhar area of Allahabad. It’s a rural setting, so it’s quite peaceful most of the time. We focus on the intermediate levels of schooling. The college building is a simple structure that has seen many groups of students pass through over the years. Allahabad is known for its history, and while we are a bit far from the main city, we still feel that connection. Most of our students walk or cycle from the nearby villages. We have a small courtyard where everyone gathers in the morning. It’s not a big, shiny campus like you see in the movies. It’s a real place with real problems like occasional water issues or slow internet. The teachers here work hard, often staying late to help someone with their lessons. We don’t have a lot of bells and whistles. We have basic classrooms and a small office where all the paperwork happens. Life moves a bit slower out here in Nawdiha Tarhar. We know the parents and they know us. It’s more like a big family than a cold institution. We don't put out fancy brochures; people just know we’re the local spot for finishing up school before heading off to university or work. We just keep doing our work every single day here.
