S.K.R College[lower-alpha 1], officially Shri Krishna Ramruchi College is a government college located in Barbigha, Bihar, India.[1] At the time of its establishment in 1955, it was one of the very few higher education institutions in the state and the only higher education institution in the town.[2] In December 2024, the college received funding of ₹ 5 crores under the PM-USHA Scheme to enhance its academic and infrastructural facilities.[3] By February 2025, Dr. Rajmanohar Kumar had succeeded Dr. Nawal Prasad as the principal of the college.[4] On 12 July 2025, Prof. Sanjay Kumar was appointed principal of the college.[5]

History

The college was founded in 1955 by Krishna Mohan Pyare Singh (commonly known as Lala Babu), a freedom fighter and the first MLA of Barbigha. The college is named in honor of Shri Krishna Singh, the first Chief Minister of Bihar and his wife Ramruchi Devi.[6][7][8][9]

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.[10]

Campus

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,[11][12] including those for Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)[13] and the Bihar Board,[14] as well as hosting other programs.[15]

S.K.R College features a large open playground that is utilized by the local community for sports, jogging, driver training, and political rallies,[16] in addition to hosting other events such as cricket tournaments.[17]
