Pt S C Updadhyaya College

This college is situated out in Joura, near the Joura Khurd Morena area. We are at number 77. It’s a bit of a drive from the main city, but that makes it a bit quieter for the students who come here. We have a few different buildings for the various classes. Most of the people who study here are from the surrounding villages. They take the bus or ride their bikes in every morning. It’s a plain place, just walls and desks and books. We don't have a cafeteria, but there are some small stalls nearby where everyone gets their snacks. The office is usually a mess of enrollment forms and old schedules. We’ve been operating in Morena for quite some time. The weather gets really hot in the summer, so we try to finish up early before the afternoon heat becomes too much. It’s a simple setup. We provide the space and the teachers, and the students bring their own drive to learn. There isn't any fancy equipment, but we manage with what's available. Sometimes the cows from the nearby fields wander a bit too close to the gate. That's just how life is here. We focus on getting the syllabus finished on time so the kids can take their exams. It’s hard work for everyone, but we’ve been doing it this way for years now. We hope the students who leave here find good work in the city or back in their villages. It is just a basic place for learning.
