Gram Vidya Pith Inter College

We have been here at Sindhora Bazar in Varanasi for many years. People around here know Gram Vidya Pith Inter College as a regular fixture of the neighborhood. The building is not anything fancy, just a solid brick structure that has seen a lot of students come and go over time. Our address is 221202, and we are right in the middle of the local market area. You can hear the vendors and the traffic all day long from the classrooms, but the kids just ignore it. Instead of a big fancy office, we have a small room with some old desks and fans that squeak a bit on high speed. The teachers mostly live in the nearby streets, so walking or taking a cycle to work is common for us. Most mornings start with an assembly in the small courtyard before we get to the lessons. Since there is no air conditioning, the windows stay open even when it is dusty outside. No big posters or marketing signs are used here. Only a small board sits at the front gate to show our name. It is a very plain and practical place to be. Every day is spent focusing on the books and making sure the registers are signed properly. That is just how we do things here in Varanasi. It’s a simple life for everyone involved in the college.
