Sri Vijayakrishna Junior College

Sri Vijayakrishna Junior College is located in Andhra Pradesh and we have been part of the local community for some time. The college is a fairly straightforward place where students come to get through their intermediate years. It’s not one of those massive, shiny campuses you see in the big cities, but we have what we need. The classrooms have the usual wooden benches and the blackboards are always covered in chalk dust by the end of the day. During the admissions season, the hallways get quite crowded and noisy with parents and students trying to get everything sorted. We focus on the regular curriculum and making sure everyone is ready for their board exams when the time comes. The staff room is usually a mess of textbooks and tea cups, which is just how things go when everyone is busy. We have a small playground area where the kids hang out during their breaks, and it can get pretty loud when a cricket match starts up. The heat in this part of India can be a lot during the summer months, so the ceiling fans are always running at full speed. It is a place where young people are just trying to study hard and figure out their next steps in life. We see them grow up quite a bit in the two years they spend with us before moving on to bigger things.
