K S N I College

Our college is tucked away in Village Nimi Thariya, which is part of the Handia area in Allahabad. It’s a bit of a journey to get here if you aren't from around the village. We have been operating near Post Utraon for a while now. The surroundings are mostly fields and open space, which is different from the colleges in the middle of the city. We have a few buildings where the lectures happen. The students come from the nearby villages, often walking or taking local transport like shared rickshaws. It is a quiet place for the most part, except when classes let out and everyone is talking at once. We don’t have high-tech labs, just the basic classrooms and a small office for the principal and staff. The dust from the roads often settles on the windowsills, so we have to clean them quite a bit during the dry months. Life here is slow and follows the local seasons. We focus on the subjects the students need for their exams. There is a small area where people gather during the lunch break to eat and talk. Most people in Handia know where we are located. It’s a simple college for the local youth who want to study without traveling all the way to the main city of Allahabad. We do our best with what we have here in Nimi Thariya. The power goes out sometimes, so we just open the windows for light and keep going with the lessons.
