Govt Polytechnic College

If you find yourself in the Ramprastha area of Ghaziabad, you'll likely pass by the Govt Polytechnic College. It sits right there in the middle of U.P., surrounded by the usual hustle of the city. I’ve been working here for some time now and it feels like a second home, though it’s definitely not a luxury one. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint and the chairs in the staff room have seen better days. But that’s just how it is with these government places. We focus on the students who come in from all over the district. Ghaziabad is a tough city, very industrial and fast, and the college reflects that. We are practical people here. There isn't any room for corporate talk or big promises. We just manage the classes and try to keep the labs in working order. The morning commute through the Ramprastha traffic is usually the hardest part of the day. Once you get inside the gate, it’s all about the workshop sounds and the students rushing to their next period. We deal with the heat in the summer and the dampness in the monsoon without much complaining. It is a very basic setup, but it works for the people who live here. We are just a group of staff members trying to do right by the students.
