The inauguration ceremony was attended by numerous dignitaries, including External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and ambassadors from various countries. This event marked a significant milestone in the university’s history, highlighting its importance as a global center of learning and cultural exchange.

Origins and Early Excellence

Nalanda University, established in the fifth century CE, was located in the ancient kingdom of Magadha, near the city of Rajagriha (now Rajgir) and close to Patliputra (now Patna). Renowned as the world’s first residential university, Nalanda attracted scholars from around the globe, including Korea, Japan, China, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Tibet, and Southeast Asia.

During the 8th and 9th centuries, under the patronage of the Pala dynasty, Nalanda University flourished, gaining international acclaim. The university offered a diverse range of subjects, including medicine, Ayurveda, mathematics, grammar, astronomy, and Indian philosophy. Its contributions to mathematics and astronomy were particularly notable, with Aryabhata, the Indian mathematician and inventor of zero, being one of its esteemed educators during the 6th century CE.

Rigorous Academic Standards

Admission to Nalanda University was highly competitive, requiring students to undergo rigorous interviews. Those who succeeded were mentored by a group of scholars under the guidance of Buddhist masters like Dharmapala and Silabhadra. The university housed nine million handwritten palm-leaf manuscripts, and its library, known as ‘Dharma Gunj’ or the ‘Mountain of Truth’, was the richest repository of Buddhist knowledge.

Interesting Facts About Nalanda University

– Great Study Center: Nalanda was a major center for subjects like astronomy, medicine, logic, and mathematics.
– UNESCO World Heritage Site: In 2016, the Nalanda ruins were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, emphasizing the site’s immense cultural and historical importance.
– Revival Initiative: Former President APJ Abdul Kalam proposed reviving Nalanda University in 2006. The university reopened in 2014 after nearly 800 years, marking a significant milestone in the history of the world’s oldest learning centers. The new campus signifies the revival of Nalanda, blending ancient wisdom with modern knowledge.
– Global Attraction: Nalanda attracted students from all across the world, including Korea, Japan, China, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Tibet, and Southeast Asia.

Conclusion

The new campus of Nalanda University not only signifies the revival of a storied ancient institution but also embodies the principles of modern education and sustainability. Covering over 450 acres, this campus is a testament to the fusion of historical significance and contemporary advancements. The ‘Net Zero’ Green Campus reflects a strong commitment to environmental conservation, setting a new standard for eco-friendly educational facilities. With cutting-edge infrastructure, including 40 classrooms, two large auditoriums, and comprehensive residential facilities, Nalanda University is well-equipped to accommodate a diverse international student body.

Furthermore, the inclusion of an international center, amphitheater, and sports complex underscores its dedication to providing a holistic educational experience. This blend of traditional wisdom and modern innovation positions Nalanda University as a global leader in higher education. The university fosters an environment that values sustainability and academic excellence, attracting scholars worldwide and continuing its historic legacy as a premier center of learning and intellectual growth.
