Sukruli (Junior) College

Sukruli (Junior) College is a small place tucked away in Sukruli, Mayurbhanj. The pin code is 757039. It’s a very quiet area compared to the big cities in the state. We mostly serve the local kids who live within a few kilometers of the college. The building itself is just a simple structure with a few rooms and a small administrative area where we keep all the files and paperwork. It isn't a very large college, so everyone ends up knowing each other’s names after a few weeks. The ground around the college is mostly dirt, which turns into a bit of a mud problem when the monsoon rains hit Mayurbhanj. We don't have any high-tech security or big iron gates. It’s just a regular local institution where students come to finish their junior college years. Sometimes the power is a bit patchy, so we just open the windows and keep going with the natural light. It’s a very laid-back environment. The teachers mostly sit together in the small break room between their classes. We don’t have a big cafeteria, just some local vendors outside who sell snacks and tea to the students during their breaks. It is a humble place and we don’t try to be anything else. Most people in Sukruli know where we are, so we don’t need many signs. It’s just a part of the local community. The walls could use a little work here and there, but it serves its purpose for the town.
