History

The college was founded in 1955 by Krishna Mohan Pyare Singh, a freedom fighter and the first MLA of Barbigha. The college is named in honor of Shri Krishna Singh, the first Chief Minister of Bihar and his wife Ramruchi Devi.
Originally a constituent unit of Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University, S.K.R College became affiliated with Munger University after the bifurcation of the former in 2018.

The college offers degrees across various disciplines in the streams of Arts, Science, and Commerce. However, it operates as a "dummy college," where regular classes are not conducted like many other colleges in the country but it serves as an examination center for various assessments, including those for Indira Gandhi National Open University and the Bihar Board, as well as hosting other programs.
S.K.R College features a large open playground that is utilized by the local community for sports, jogging, driver training, and political rallies, in addition to hosting other events such as cricket tournaments.
