Shivnandan Nandkishor Mishra
College Bhairavasthan was established on
26 June 1984 as an institution of higher
education with an objective of spreading
the light of knowledge among the downtrodeen
and especially the girls of this locality.
The college is situated in the highly backward
area of Madhubani district, a flood –
prone region, west of the river kamla Balan
under Jhanjhapur Block. This college is
at a walking distance, nearly half K.M.
North of the famous Bhairavasthan Teample.
This area is extremely backward economically
as well as educationally. A meeting of renowned
intellectuals of this area was held in the
sacred premises of Bhairavasthan on 26.06,
1984. Everybody present in the meeting felt
a great need of the college for the purpose
of imparting higher education to the wards
of the poor under privileged people, especially
to the girl students of this area. The students
particularly girls couldnot go to Jhanjharpur
due to the river Kamla Balan and Madhubani
which is at a distance of 30 kms. Hence
a unanimous decision was taken to open a
college and late Shivnandan Mishra of near
by village Naruar agreed to offer the required
piece of land for the purpose of establishment
of the college. The most remarkable point
to be noted is that the idea of establishing
an academic institution came into the mind
of such a person who had almost no academic
qualifications. The inner urge for such
an institution touched the very core of
his heart and he left no stone unturned
in the fulfilment of generous desire. He
used to go to Bhairavasthan from his village
by bicycle, avoiding four – wheelers,
to supervise himself the development work
of the college till he was physically fit.
His regards for teachers was highly praiseworthy..
In the beginning the classes were started
in the local Gopal Narayan High School,
but within a year late Shivnandan Mishra
with his painstaking effort and big generous
heart created a pucca building on its own
land. The college started to run there very
smoothly. The necessary infrastructure,
furniture and stationery etc. along with
reserve fund were arranged by late Shivnandan
Mishra and his son Keshav Kishore Mishra..
The worthy son [Sri Keshav Kishor Mishra]
of a worthy father became the founder secretary
of the institution. The allround development
of the institution is the result of his
honest and efficient endeavour. One of the
strongest pillars of the college was the
founder principal, Prof. Rajeshwar Mishra.
He nourished and nurtured the institution
like his own offspring. The college wouldnot
have flourished without his sincere and
painstaking effort. Classes started with
a handful of vanguished students and volunteer
teachers namely Prof. Rajeshwar Mishra as
Prof. In-Charge, Dr. Bidyanand Thakur of
English, Prof. Hari Nath Jha of Political
Science, Dr. Kamnath Mishra of Sociology,
Prof. Hari Nath Jha of Political Science,
Dr. Kamnath Mishra of Sociology, Prof. Hari
Nath Jha of Sanskrit, Prof. Kailash Nath
Mishra of Hindi, Prof. Kailash Nath Jha
of Maithili, Dr. Manoj Kumar Chaudhary of
History and Prof. Chandrashekhar Jha of
Economics. These were the founder teachers
who served without a penny only with the
great mission of serving the promising young
men and women of this area. The institution
and the people of this area are really indebted
to them. |
