S.K.R College[a], 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]
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]
