Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar revealed plans to establish degree colleges in 213 blocks of the state, with classes starting in July 2026. This initiative, part of the Seven Resolutions–3 program named “Advanced Education – Bright Future,” aims to enhance access to higher education, particularly for girls. Currently, 213 out of Bihar’s 534 blocks lack affiliated or constituent degree colleges.
The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of providing job-oriented and quality higher education by designating 55 old and esteemed educational institutions as Centers of Excellence. These institutions will undergo upgrades to meet modern educational standards, with input from experienced teachers and students being sought for the process. Nitish Kumar highlighted that these efforts will not only boost educational opportunities for girls but also revitalize historic institutions and equip youth with skills for employment.
The Seven Resolutions–3 initiative, focusing on advanced education, infrastructure, and inclusive development, was launched after Nitish Kumar’s victory in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. The program follows the completion of Seven Resolutions–1 from 2015 to 2020 and Seven Resolutions–2 implemented between 2020 and 2025. Nitish Kumar’s commitment to expanding access to education and enhancing the state’s academic landscape underscores the government’s dedication to overall progress.
