The Nalanda University in Bihar, known to be one of the oldest universities in the world, is being revived with a new campus. The inauguration ceremony, attended by PM Narendra Modi and officials from 17 partner countries, marks a significant step towards reviving the glorious past of the ancient university. The campus, designed to match the architectural and geographical setting of the old university, is a no-vehicle zone and will house six schools with a capacity of 7,500 students and teachers.
