Dr. Sarvpalli Radhakrishnan Public Girls Inter College

Start with the location, Kumhar Mandi. It’s a busy spot and we’ve been here for a while now. The building is right there on Rai Bareily Road. Every morning the girls arrive in their uniforms and the whole place gets noisy pretty fast. It’s just a regular school day really. Teachers are busy with their registers and marking attendance while the younger ones are usually running around the corridors before the first bell rings. We have different classrooms for all the subjects and a small area where students sit during breaks. Telibagh is always crowded, so getting here in the morning takes some time for most of us. The gate stays shut once classes start. We don't have fancy stuff, just the basic things needed for teaching. There's a lot of paper work every day. Sometimes the power goes out and we just open the windows for some air. It's a bit dusty because of the road outside, but we try to keep the floors swept. Lunchtime is the loudest part of the day. You can hear the chatter from the street. Then by the afternoon, everyone heads home and it gets quiet again. It is a lot of work running a place like this, especially with so many students to look after. We just focus on getting through the syllabus and making sure the exams happen on time. That is basically what goes on here at Dr. Sarvpalli Radhakrishnan Public Girls Inter College.
