Today, in the beautiful city of Rajgir in Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi graced us with his presence as he inaugurated the new campus of Nalanda University. The event was attended by esteemed guests such as Governor Rajendra V Arlekar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.
Before the inauguration, PM Modi took the time to visit the 'Nalanda Mahavihara', a UNESCO world heritage site located near the university. This visit was a reflection of the Prime Minister's deep respect and appreciation for the rich history and culture of the region.
Established in 2010 through the Nalanda University Act, the educational institute has been functioning since 2014. However, its roots can be traced back to the fifth century when the ancient Nalanda University was a hub of learning and attracted students from all over the world. Sadly, the university was destroyed by invaders in the 12th century, ending its 800-year long legacy, as shared by experts.
As the new campus of Nalanda University begins its journey towards excellence, we are reminded of the glorious past of this region and the importance of preserving and promoting its cultural heritage. The presence of PM Modi and other dignitaries at the inauguration is a testament to the government's commitment towards reviving and nurturing this esteemed institution. Let us hope that this new campus will continue to uphold the values and legacy of its predecessor and become a symbol of academic excellence in the modern era.
