Bihar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new campus of Nalanda University at Rajgir, as part of a joint collaboration between India and East Asia Summit (EAS) countries.
The original Nalanda University, established around 1600 years ago, is considered to be amongst the first residential universities in the world. In 2016, the ruins of Nalanda were declared as a UN Heritage Site.
The new campus has two academic blocks with 40 classrooms having a total seating capacity of around 1900. It is a ‘Net Zero’ Green Campus. The campus is self-sustainable with solar plants, domestic and drinking water treatment plants, water recycling plants for reusing wastewater, 100 acres of water bodies, and several other environment-friendly facilities.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said “Nalanda University will soon become an important centre for our cultural exchange programmes. Documentation of various artworks from India and Southeast Asia is being undertaken here.. A Common Archival Resource Centre is also being established. Nalanda University is working towards building ASEAN-India Network of Universities.”
