Shri Hanuman Prasad Intermediate College

If you look for us in Allahabad, you will find our college at Chaupatiyan. The pin code is 212306. It is an intermediate college, so we deal with students who are getting ready for their final years of schooling before they go off to find work or go to university. The building is quite traditional, with thick walls and high ceilings that stay relatively cool even when the Allahabad summers get really hot. We have a lot of students coming in from the nearby areas, and the courtyard gets quite crowded during the lunch break. We don't have any fancy technology or digital boards in every room; we mostly use chalk and blackboards like it has been done for years. The teachers here are local folks who care about the students but don't feel the need to use big words or corporate talk. We just want the kids to pass their exams and move on to the next stage of their lives. The furniture is a bit worn, and the paint might be peeling in a few corners, but the place is solid. There is a sense of history in these halls because so many people from this neighborhood have passed through them over the decades. We just keep the doors open and the classes running as best as we can. It’s a very grounded, practical place for learning and growing up.
