			Langat Singh initially participated in the [[Bhumihar\|Bhumihar Brahmin Mahasabha]] in 1895. His donation of one lakh rupees to the Mahasabha led to the establishment of a college in Muzaffarpur. The Bhumihar Brahmin Collegiate School and Bhumihar Brahmin College's foundation was laid on July 3, 1899, and it is presently known as LS College<ref>[https://www.jagran.com/bihar/muzaffarpur-langat-singh-jayanti-found-primary-education-itself-the-example-of-higher-education-presented-in-muzaffarpur-22100082.html]</ref>.The College was founded in 1899 in the backdrop of emerging Indian nationalism by broader community support.<ref name=his/><ref>{{Cite book\|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=C9GbCwAAQBAJ&dq=%22Langat+Singh+College%22+-Bharatpedia&pg=PA183\|title=World List of Universities 1977–78 / Liste Mondiale des Universites\|date=2016-02-19\|publisher=Springer\|isbn=978-1-349-03491-8\|language=fr}}</ref> Babu Langat Singh played the most prominent part in its establishment.

	== ~~Alumni~~ ==		==Astronomical observatory==
			The [[observatory]], the first of its kind in eastern India, was established in the Langat Singh College in 1916 to impart astronomical knowledge to the students in detail. The initiative for the establishment of this observatory was taken by Romesh Chandra Sen of the college. Later, a [[planetarium]], probably the first in India, was also set up in the college in 1946. Both the observatory as well as the planetarium functioned satisfactorily up to the early 1970s but started declining gradually over time. The observatory interacted with the Astronomical Observatory of the [[Presidency University, Kolkata]].

			In August 2022, several Indian media house reported that the astronomical observatory of Langat Singh College was included on the [[UNESCO]] list of endangered heritage observatories of the world.<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/century-old-bihar-college-astronomical-lab-on-unesco-list/articleshow/93308904.cms\|title=Century-old Bihar college astronomical lab on Unesco list}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|title=Zee News \|url=https://zeenews.india.com/hindi/india/bihar-jharkhand/muzaffarpur/unesco-added-astronomy-of-langat-singh-college-in-heritage-list-of-endangered-observatories/1292322}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|title=Bihar’s Langat Singh College astronomy lab included in the Unesco heritage list \|url=https://currentaffairs.adda247.com/bihars-langat-singh-college-astronomy-lab-included-in-the-unesco-heritage-list/}}</ref> UNESCO later clarified that the astronomical observatory at the college has not been inscribed on its list of endangered heritage.<ref>{{Cite web \|title=A 106-year-old astronomical observatory in Bihar not on endangered heritage list: UNESCO \|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/a-106-year-old-astronomical-observatory-in-bihar-not-on-endangered-heritage-list-unesco/article65749408.ece/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|title=UNESCO says observatory in Bihar college not included in world heritage list \|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/science/unesco-says-observatory-in-bihar-college-not-included-in-world-heritage-list-101660031882706.html}}</ref> although it is listed as a heritage observatory on portal to the heritage of astronomy managed by [[UNESCO]] in partnership with [[World Heritage Centre]] and [[International Astronomical Union]].<ref>{{Cite web \|title=Category of Astronomical Heritage: tangible immovable - Langat Singh College Observatory in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India \|url=https://www3.astronomicalheritage.net/index.php/show-entity?identity=217&idsubentity=1%C2%A0}}</ref>
