R H Qadri Inter College

You can find us in Bandiya, tucked away in the Cb Ganj area of Bareilly. R H Qadri Inter College has been sitting here for quite some time now. Most mornings start with the sound of the bell and students rushing through the front gate before the latch goes on. The building is a sturdy one, though the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint after the last monsoon season. We have classrooms filled with desks that have seen many years of use. It is not a quiet place, especially when the shops nearby are open and the traffic is moving through the streets of Bareilly. Teachers arrive on their scooters and we all start the day together. We focus on the books and getting through the syllabus before the exams come around. There is no big office with fancy chairs here, just a practical space where we handle the paperwork and talk to parents. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just open the windows wider to let the breeze in. It feels like a second home to many of us who work here every day. We know the neighbors and they know us. If you are looking for the college, just head toward the 243502 zip code area and ask anyone in Bandiya where the Qadri school is. It is just a regular local college doing its thing without much fuss.
