Dasmesh Girls College

Our college is located in Vpo Badal, which is in the Muktsar district. It is a rural area, so the surroundings are mostly fields and quiet roads. Being a girls' college, we have a lot of students who come in from the nearby villages every morning. You can see the buses dropping them off right at the front. The campus is quite spread out with some green patches here and there. We have a main office where we do all the admissions and paperwork, and then the different wings for the classes. It feels very safe and tucked away from the noise of the bigger cities. The buildings are painted in simple colors and we try to keep the place tidy, though the dust from the Punjab plains always finds its way inside. Inside, the rooms are large with high ceilings. During the winters, it gets quite cold, so everyone is bundled up in sweaters and shawls. We have a small area where students can sit during their free time, usually chatting or sharing food from home. It is a very grounded place. We don't have any high-tech glass walls or fancy cafes. It is just a place for learning and where the local families feel comfortable sending their daughters. The staff mostly lives nearby too, so we all know the local way of doing things.
