Lalit Narayan Mithila University
The
Temple of Learning Lalit Narayan Mithila Vishvidyalaya, Darbhanga is an
outcome of the cherished desire of the people of this region. Eminent
academicians like Dr. Amarnatha Jha, Dr. R.C. Mazumdar, Dr. A. S. Altekar,
Dr. Sunit Kumar Chaterjee and many others had expressed their view in
favour of the establishment of modern University at Darbhanga. The demand
was voiced time and again on the floors of the state legislatures and
in the Parliament. On the 27th January, 1947 (Vasantpanchami Day) at a
meeting of some of the leading citizens of Darbhanga and Laheriasarai,
the Mithila University committee was constituted with Dr. Amarnatha Jha
as the President and Pandit Harinath Mishra as the General Secretary.
1986
should go down as another important year in the history of L. N. Mithila
University, when the University got much needed recognition of the University
Grants Commission (UGC) under section 12 (A) of the UGC Act paving way
for the receipt of the various types of financial assistance from the
UGC. The UGC started providing institutional development grants under
section 12(B) of the UGC Act since February 1989. This notable achievement
of the University accelerated pace of campus development. The developmental
activities within the University campus began to stride with the investment
of grants received from the U.G.C. and the State Government. Botany, Physics,
Chemistry and Zoology Science Blocks, Central Library Building, Social
Sciences Block, University, University Health Centre, University Health
Centre, Kosi, Baghmati, and Gandak P.G. Hostels for boys and Archana (Kamala)
Hostel for girl students are new additions to the structural built of
the University campus. The last phase of the ninth five years plan has
set the tempo of construction activities, as a result of which eight U.G.C.
quarters for lecturers, canteen, an ambitious Silver Jubilee Hall are
nearing completion. Besides, the projects of construction of large stadium,
magnificent auditorium, quarters for Pro-Vice-Chancellor and registrar
etc. are on the anvil.
