Sri Indu Vocational Junior College

We are located right opposite the Sri Venkateshwara Temple in Jadcherla. Most people in Mahbubnagar know the spot because of the temple traffic. Sri Indu Vocational Junior College isn't a very big place. We have a few classrooms and some equipment for the vocational courses. It’s mostly local kids from the nearby villages who come here. They want to learn a trade so they can start working. We see them arriving early in the morning, sometimes looking a bit tired from the bus ride. The building is an older one, but it stays relatively cool inside. We don't have a lot of fancy offices. Usually, you’ll find the staff sitting in the common room drinking tea and talking about the day’s lessons. It’s a bit dusty because of the road, but we try to keep it clean. We’ve had many groups of students pass through over the years. Some go off to work in the city, and some stay around here. Life in Jadcherla is quiet for the most part, except when there’s a festival at the temple. Then the whole street gets packed. We just keep the doors open and get on with the teaching. It’s a straightforward kind of place. We don't have big speeches or anything like that. We just show the students how to do the work and hope they do okay for themselves in the future when they leave here.
