Kumar told media persons here that the overall education scenario in Bihar was pathetic as there was no degree College in 358 blocks of Bihar, while the shortage of teachers in both colleges and schools of the state was a well-known fact. It was all the more surprising to note that funds meant for the welfare of SC and ST students were spent on the construction of roads and bridges in Bihar, he added.
