Education

The district portal counts 1,104 primary schools, 898 upper primary schools and 125 high schools, the great majority of them rural, and five degree colleges — one in the countryside and four in and around the town. Sri Lakshmi Kishori College and Sri Radha Krishna Goenka College on the Main Road are the oldest of them.

The district's literacy rate of 52.05 per cent, as published by the district, sits well below the national figure, and the gap is widest for women. schooling in Sitamarhi has been a matter of building the last mile of village schools rather than the first.

Figures, offices and telephone numbers below are copied from Sitamarhi District Portal (sitamarhi.nic.in) on 4 November 2026. Officers change with transfers, so confirm anything you intend to act on directly with the office.
