Chunni Lal High School is one of the first high schools opened in Lohardaga with its first visionary principal being the late Shri Haicharan Sahu. Saraswati Shishu and Vidya Mandir are the best two schools in the town in every aspect such as education and discipline. Since its induction is the city, it has been coming to nurture its student careers. Many students from Saraswati Vidya Mandir are now doctors, engineers, veterans, and civil services. DAV Public School and Sen's Triveni Public School are the two good schools in Lohardaga. DAV Public School and Sen's Triveni Public School are English-medium schools.
Lohardaga has two colleges, B.S. College and Women's College. M.L.A. Women's College has been imparting education to the girls of this tribal dominated backward district since 1981, but they still await the government's favour and facilities. B.S College offers higher educations in science, arts, and commerce stream but fails to perform up to the marks in all the three faculties. Dr. Mukul Rani Singh, one of the eminent educationists in Jharkhand, was amongst the first few ladies to come to Lohardaga in the early 1960s. She served with B.S. College as Head of Department till the mid 1990s. Her stay in Lohardaga made a significant impact on the psyche of the locals and promoted female education in the region. Dr. Mukul Rani Singh died of cancer in 1994. That's why most of the students of Lohardaga who are keen to pursue higher studies move to Ranchi, the state capital, which houses a number of good schools and colleges offering higher education.
MoonS Multitasking is one of the well known computer education institute where high quality computer education is provided among the students coming from every section of society in very easily affordable fee. The teachers are well qualified holding degrees such as MCA, BCA, MBA etc. It has benefitted lots of students with good computer skill thus aiding development of Lohardaga.
Maa Saraswati I.T.I. is first technical approved college by the government of India, which is providing basic technical knowledge to the youths of Lohardaga and trying to make them skillful, so that they can get employment. The institution is being run by a charitable trust in the memory of prominent social worker Saraswati Devi.
Transport
The nearest airport is at the state capital Ranchi, 70 km away. Lohardaga is connected to the state capital, Ranchi, by road and rail. Lohardaga Station is the Railway station serving the city of Lohardaga. The 68 km railway track was converted from metre gauge to broad gauge in 2005. The track is planned to be extended 44 km more to connect with Tori railway station in Chandwa district. This would reduce the railway distance between Ranchi and Delhi and the railway travel time by three hours. However the construction of a tunnel under the hill between Lohardaga and Tori has not been completed even in a decade. The track has been laid only for 14 km from Lohardaga to Barkichampi and laying of the track on the remaining 30 km running through dense forests has been delayed by Maoist terrorism.
