Government Junior College

Government Junior College is located on Pondara Street in Mandasa. If you walk down 3-1-53, you will see us. It is a government building, so it looks like most others you see in Srikakulam. The walls could use a bit of fresh paint maybe, but we get by. We have been here for a long time. Every morning the students arrive from all over the Mandasa area. Some come from quite far away. The street is usually quiet except when the college starts and ends. We have the usual classrooms and some open space for the students to stand around during the break. There is no air conditioning, just the breeze coming through the windows when we are lucky. The pin code is 532242 if you are sending mail. We do the paperwork in the small office near the entrance. It gets a bit crowded during admission time, but we manage. Most of us have lived in Srikakulam our whole lives. We know the families of the kids who come here. It is just a regular place for junior college. We do not have big advertisements. People just know where Government Junior College is. We keep the registers updated and the classrooms ready. It is a basic setup, really. Just a place where the local youth spend their days before moving on to other things. We try to keep things organized despite the limited resources we have.
