S.K.R College
S.K.R College[a] is a government college situated in Barbigha, Bihar, India.[1] Founded in 1955 by the first MLA of Barbigha, Krishna Mohan Pyare Singh, commonly known as Lala Babu, the college is named in honor of Shri Krishna Singh, the first Chief Minister of Bihar.[2] At the time of its establishment, it was one of the very few higher education institutions in the state.[3][4][5] Originally a constituent unit of Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University, S.K.R College became affiliated with Munger University after the bifurcation of the former in 2018.[6] The college offers degrees across various disciplines in the streams of Arts, Science, and Commerce. However, it operates as a "dummy college," where regular classes are not conducted like many other colleges in the country but it serves as an examination center for various assessments,[7][8] including those for Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)[9] and the Bihar Board,[10] as well as hosting other programs.[11] S.K.R College features a large open playground that is utilized by the local community for sports, jogging, driver training, and political rallies,[12] in addition to hosting other events such as cricket tournaments.[13] In December 2024, the college received funding of ₹ 5 crores under the PM-USHA Scheme to enhance its academic and infrastructural facilities.[14] In February 2025, Dr. Rajmanohar Kumar succeeded Dr. Nawal Prasad as the principal of the college.
