Vkeshav Shiksha Sadan Inter College

Out in Saidabad, Allahabad, you’ll find Vkeshav Shiksha Sadan Inter College. This isn’t a primary school; we deal with older students here. Being an inter college means the atmosphere is a bit more serious. The students are preparing for their exams and thinking about what comes next. The building is functional and stands in a quiet enough spot for studying. We have several classrooms and a staff room where we drink tea and discuss the day's lessons. Allahabad can get very hot, so the high ceilings in our old building really help keep the temperature down a bit. We don't have fancy lab equipment or a giant sports ground, but we make use of what we have. The students come from all over the Saidabad area. Some ride bicycles, and others walk from the nearby villages. Our focus is mainly on the textbooks and making sure everyone is ready for their finals. It’s a lot of pressure on the kids, and we try to help them through it without making a big fuss. The furniture is mostly wood and has been around for years. You can see the scratches and marks from generations of students. We don’t have a marketing team or anything like that. People know about us through word of mouth. If someone in the neighborhood needs to finish their schooling, they usually end up coming here. It is just how it works in this area for us. We just keep the doors open and the classes running.
