Usha Kumari, head teacher of Kothiya Kanya Primary School in Jhanjharpur, Madhubani, has been chosen for the Bihar State Teacher Award 2026, with the ceremony to be held in Patna.
Usha Kumari, who heads the Kothiya Kanya Primary School in the Jhanjharpur block of Madhubani district, has been selected for the Bihar State Teacher Award 2026. The award, presented by the state education department, recognises teachers who have demonstrated innovative teaching practices and contributed significantly to student learning.
The selection committee highlighted Kumari's use of creative pedagogical methods that have improved literacy and numeracy outcomes in her classroom. Her approach, which blends traditional teaching with modern techniques, has been cited as a model for other schools in the region.
The award ceremony is scheduled to take place in Patna later this year, where Kumari will join other distinguished educators from across Bihar. The event underscores the state government's focus on rewarding teaching excellence and encouraging innovative education across rural and urban schools.
Kumari's recognition is expected to inspire fellow teachers in Madhubani and beyond to adopt similar innovative strategies, aligning with Bihar's broader goal of enhancing educational quality.
