Shri Krishna Sudama Inter College

Down in Devinahari, Sahson, you’ll find Shri Krishna Sudama Inter College. It’s a local school that has been serving the kids around this part of Allahabad for quite a while. The address says 221507, but for most people here, it’s just the big building near the main crossroad. We don't have any fancy websites or marketing teams. Most of the parents just walk in to talk about their kids' grades or to pay the fees. The playground is mostly dirt and gets a bit muddy when the monsoon hits, but the kids don't seem to care. They run around anyway until the bell rings for the next period. Our teachers are mostly people from the village or nearby towns who have been teaching the same subjects for decades. The classrooms have wooden desks that have names carved into them from students who graduated twenty years ago. It’s a very simple setup. We focus on getting the kids through their intermediate exams so they can move on to college or work. In the winter mornings, the fog is so thick you can barely see the gate, but the kids still show up on their bicycles. We don't pretend to be anything we aren't. We’re just a local college doing the daily work of teaching, keeping the records straight, and making sure the building stays standing for the next generation of students. It’s a humble place, but it works for us.
