Nalanda was an acclaimed Mahavihara, a large Buddhist
monastery in the ancient kingdom of Magadha (modern-day
Bihar) in India. The site is located about 95 kilometres southeast of
Patna near the town of Bihar Sharif, and was a centre of learning
from the fifth century CE to1200 CE. It is a UNESCO World Heritage
Site.
Nalanda University was established to emulate the ancient university of Nalanda, which
functioned between the 5th and 13th centuries. The idea to resurrect Nalanda University
was endorsed in 2007 at the 2nd East Asia Summit by the sixteen member countries.In
2009, during the 4th East Asia summit, ASEAN member states including Australia, China,
Korea, Singapore and Japan promised further support. The State Government of
Bihar handed over land acquired from local people, to the university for its new
campus. Chief Minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar also met External Affairs Minister SM
Krishna to receive reassurance that the Central Government would allocate sufficient
funds to the project.
The architectural design was chosen on the basis of a global competition. The jury
consisting of architects including Liu Thai Ker chose Pritzker Prize laureate BV Doshi's
firm, Vastu Shilpa Consultants as the winner of the design competition. The firm dbHMS
provides the triple net zeroenergy, water and waste strategic plan. Original concepts
associated with the project included "advancing the concept of an Asian community...and
rediscovering old relationships."] and "acting as a bridge for students in different parts of
Southeast Asia".
The university has been envisioned as an international institution of national
importance and excellence.It began its first academic session on 1 September 2014 with
15 students in the School of Historical Studies and the School of Ecology and
Environmental studies. A hotel operated by Bihar State Tourism Development
Corporation in Rajgir provided initial hostel accommodation.[ Initially set up with
temporary facilities in Rajgir, a modern campus spanning over 160 hectares (400 acres) is
under construction with over 80 percent having been completed by 2021.The university
started functioning from its 455-acres new campus from January 2020.At least 200
villages surrounding the university will be attached to the university, reminiscent of the
old Nalanda
1. Standalone and International
standards
2. Ancient learning system
3. Students travel from China as well
4. Destroyed earlier in 1193 but
managed to restore its lost fame
5. University was attacked three times
6. The destruction of the University was
never approved by Minhaj
Mahipala was the last king to patronage Nalanda before it was
plundered in 1193. The university was forgotten until the ASI
started excavations in 19C. It was declared a UNESCO World
Heritage Site on January 9, 2009. In 2010, the Indian Parliament
approved a bill that called for the restoration of the
University of Nalanda based on a Joint Press Statement at the
4th East Asia Summit held in Thailand in October 2009. It
formally reopened for academic purposes on September 14,
2014. Only 15 candidates, out of a total of 1000 applications
from throughout the world, were accepted to honour the old
selection procedure. The government has designated it as an
“Institute of National Importance.”
