KHAGARIA: With more than 2,500 students on its roll, KMD College at Parbatta in Khagaria district is managed by 10 teachers only. A constituent unit of newly created Munger University, the college has the sanctioned posts of 25 teachers.
Dilapidated building, leaking roof, shortage of teachers, lack of basic infrastructure and facilities, boundary wall, common room, recreation and sports facilities and laboratories have made it miserable for students even after the lapse of 64 years of its establishment.

The college was established in 1956. It was named after Kabir Moti Das, the mahant of Sant Kabir muth, who had donated nearly 100 acres of land of the trust to set up the college. The college functioned as an affiliated unit of Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University (TMBU) till 1982, when it was upgraded as a constituent unit. Later, it was carved out of TMBU in 2018 and became a constituent unit of newly created Munger University.
None of the departments has the required number of teachers. Vacancies caused by retirement, death or transfer have not been filled. There is not even a single teacher in Statistics, Botany and Zoology departments since 2002, 2010 and 2018 respectively.
“There is no teaching facility for commerce and students have no option except to go to district headquarters town for higher studies,” rued Niranjan Hazari, a native of Kabela village.
Meanwhile, the college is yet to be assessed by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). The college may be deprived of UGC grants if it failed to get the NAAC accreditation, college sources said.
Acting principal Shiv Kumar Agrawal, who has taken over the charge recently, said he has already apprised the university authorities of the various problems pertaining to shortage of teachers and proper infrastructure.
