R.P. Children Inter College

Our school is tucked away in Shivam Colony, which is over in Sitapur. It’s a regular building that’s been part of this community for a while. We have students coming from all over the town, some walking and others coming on cycles. The mornings are usually the most hectic time when everyone is trying to get to their classrooms before the bell. We have classes for different age groups, all the way up to the older students. The rooms are basic with wooden desks and blackboards. We don’t have any of those fancy modern gadgets you see in big city schools. We just focus on the books and the lessons. During the winter months in Uttar Pradesh, it gets quite cold, so the kids come in heavy sweaters. We have a bit of open space where they sit out in the sun when they can. The staff here is mostly people who live nearby, so it feels like a very local operation. We don’t have a big marketing team or anything like that. It’s just us teachers and the administration trying to keep things running smoothly. Sometimes the roof needs a bit of work or the paint gets a bit dull, but we manage. It is a place where local kids come to get their education and move on to better things.
