KKN Gurugram Desk | In a significant initiative aimed at supporting underprivileged and aspiring students, eligible candidates in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, will now be able to access free study kits worth ₹5,000 to help them prepare for various competitive examinations.

Estimated at ₹5,000 per kit, the materials have been curated by experienced teachers and subject experts to ensure maximum effectiveness.

One of the program coordinators, Anupam Jha, shared:
“We received feedback that many talented aspirants in Muzaffarpur drop out of exam preparation due to financial limitations. This free study kit is our way of leveling the field.”
Local MLA [Insert Name] applauded the move and added:
“Education must not be a privilege. If a ₹5,000 kit can change a student’s future, that’s a price worth paying.”
The initiative has already generated buzz among local students. Priya Kumari, a B.A. final-year student preparing for SSC, said:
“I wanted to buy books but couldn’t afford them. This support will help me focus more on studying and less on worrying.”
Parents have also shown enthusiasm, seeing this as a meaningful step toward educational empowerment in Tier 2 cities like Muzaffarpur.
Bihar has long struggled with educational infrastructure and support systems, especially in smaller cities and rural belts. Competitive exams are one of the few available gateways for youth to break the cycle of poverty, but lack of guidance and study material often prevents them from reaching their potential.
With rising coaching fees, increasing dependence on digital test series, and high dropout rates due to cost, initiatives like the Muzaffarpur Free Study Kit Program play a crucial role.
This isn’t the first time such schemes have been attempted in Bihar. Past efforts include:
Super 30 (by Anand Kumar) for IIT aspirants
Chief Minister’s Coaching Yojana
E-library initiatives in Patna and Gaya
However, this is one of the few district-specific efforts focusing on competitive exam readiness, not just academic coaching.
Q1. Is there any fee to apply?
No, the application process is completely free.
Q2. Can I apply if I’m already enrolled in coaching?
Yes, as long as you meet the income and residency criteria.
Q3. Will digital resources require internet access?
Basic internet access is needed for mock tests; however, the primary kit is physical.
Q4. Is this a government-run scheme?
It is NGO-supported with local administrative collaboration, not a state-sponsored initiative (as of now).
As India moves toward competitive education and skill-based employment, ensuring equal access to quality study resources is essential. The Muzaffarpur Free Study Kit Program stands out as a targeted, grassroots initiative that could help hundreds—if not thousands—of students chart a better future.
By reducing the financial burden on aspirants, this scheme not only aids individuals but also strengthens Bihar’s broader human development goals.
