Prathiba Junior College

Our college is right here in Siddipet, at the 14172 spot. It’s a busy place, especially in the mornings when the buses drop everyone off. Junior college years are always a bit of a rush for the students, and we see that every day. The staff room is usually full of half-drunk tea cups and stacks of notebooks. We try to keep things organized, but with so many teenagers around, it’s a constant challenge. The building is functional. It’s got enough rooms for the different streams we offer. We spend a lot of time talking about upcoming exams and making sure the syllabus is covered. It’s not just about the books, though. We see these kids growing up and figuring out what they want to do next. Medak can get pretty quiet in the evenings, but during the day, this place is loud. We have a small area where students hang out during breaks. It gets a bit crowded and we often have to tell them to settle down. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to open all the windows to get some air. It’s just part of the routine. We’ve been at this address for some time now. People in the neighborhood know us well. It’s just a regular local college where we show up, do the work, and go home to our families. We just keep the doors open and try to make sure everyone is where they need to be. It's hard work, but we like it.
