Creation of 3 New Universities in Bihar brings Hope to Students

After facing a shortage of teachers and staff at colleges, students in Bihar have finally got some good news after the government announced that three new universities will be established in the state – namely Bihar Animal Sciences University, Patliputra University and Purnia University. Bihar will now have 23 universities including these three.
