Welcome to Nagendra Jha Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Laheriasarai Darbhanga

Laheriasarai dates back to 21st January 1983 with the meeting of elite, intellectuals and social workers of the town under the aegis of “Sankalp Lok” the local literary and cultural forum to give fillip to female education. It was felt that there was virtually no institute of higher education for the girls of Laheriasarai and adjoining villages.

While Laheriasarai being the Head-quarter of twin city of Darbhanga-Laheriasarai and Darbhanga commissionary was hub of administrative activities and prime residential area. So everyone came to the conclusion that a girls college should be opened at Laheriasarai.
