Thanks to Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalaam, the former President of India who initiated the move in 2005 for re-establishment of Nalanda University near the ruins of erstwhile and ancient Nalanda University. The Central Government has announced the appointment of former Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo, a recipient of Padma Bhushan for his contribution in the field of public affairs and currently a member of the governing body since its inception, as the new Chancellor of Nalanda University to succeed Nobel laureate Amartya Sen. It is a right decision of the Government of India.
Located at Rajgir in Bihar the university started the first academic session on September 1, 2014.
Let us see how it would develop as a centre of learning and earn a significant place at the global level befitting its original status.
