M.S. College

About Institution

Munshi Singh College, popularly known as M. S. College made a very modest start. This premier centre of higher education in the Northern part of Bihar was established in the year 1945 when some pious & noble souls of Champaran sat together to discuss the need of a college in Motihari, the heart of Champaran. From a rented building of one Mr. Rahman to Meyrick Bungalow &Busbariya Bungalaw of Bettiah Raj the make-shift arrangements continued till the college took its final shape in the year 1950 when it got its present location – the old & abandoned historic jail premises of the British era, at the hands of the first Chief Minister of Bihar, Dr. Shrikrishna Singh. The college was named after Babu Munshi Singh, an ordinary farmer with a noble soul who generously donated seventy five thousand rupees.M. S. College was fortunate to have got a group of socially committed people who worked day and night to ensure a speedy growth of the college. Thus, while the college started with courses of Intermediate standard only; undergraduate classes were started within ten years in 1955 and by the year 1971 the UGC went on to approve teaching up to Postgraduate level. All this was made possible because of the untiring efforts of the group consisting of persons like Shri Ramlakhan Babu, Sri Babu, Sri Narayan Singh, Keshav Babu, the first principal and Shri Bhola Prasad Singh who served as the principal of the college till 1984.
