Shri Kharag Singh Inter College

Our place is right here in Hathkoli, just near Baldev in Mathura. It’s been around for quite some time now. Most of the folks who work here live nearby, so we know most of the families whose kids come to study. The building is simple, nothing fancy, but it gets the job done for the classes. In the mornings, you’ll see students walking down the village roads or coming in on cycles. We have a playground that gets pretty dusty in the summer, but that doesn't stop anyone from using it. The classrooms have wooden desks that have seen a lot of years. Sometimes the power goes out, so we just open the windows and keep going with the lesson. We don't have a big office or a reception desk like those city schools. Usually, if a parent needs something, they just walk in and find the right teacher. It’s a quiet spot most of the day until the bell rings and everyone heads home to the village. We try to keep things organized, though sometimes it feels a bit hectic when exams are coming up or when there’s a local festival. People know us as the school on the way to Baldev. It’s just how it is here, everyone doing their part every day. We don't spend money on big signs or ads because everyone in the area already knows where we are and what we do. We just keep our heads down and do the work.
