The demand for establishing Janaki University in Sitamarhi, named after Goddess Sita, has intensified. The Sita Aradhana Mandal has sent a letter to Bihar's Higher Education Minister, Sanjay Singh Tiger, reiterating this long-standing request. Dinesh Chandra Dwivedi, General Secretary of the Mandal, stated that the demand for a university in Sitamarhi has been ongoing since 2012.

The call for the university gained significant momentum recently after Jagatguru Tulsipithadhishwar Rambhadracharya passed a resolution from the discourse platform during a nine-day recitation of the Janaki Navami Katha at Punauradham. Letters on this matter have previously been sent to the Chief Minister, Prime Minister, and Education Minister. According to the Mandal, the Prime Minister's Office forwarded their letters to the Bihar government in September 2024 and November 2025.

The Mandal further informed that the Bihar government has decided to establish a university in the name of Goddess Sita. They have also sent a request to Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary, proposing that the university be established in the Punauradham temple area, specifically on agricultural land in Khairwa village, approximately one kilometer north of the temple. The Mandal highlighted that this proposed plot is situated between the Motihari-Sitamarhi proposed railway line and the Ram Janaki Path, making it an ideal location for the university.
