About Nalanda University

Located in the town of Rajgir [ancient Imperial capital city] in the northern province of Bihar in India, Nalanda University is a post-graduate, research-intensive international university established on 25th November 2010, as “an institution of national importance”, by a special Act [No. 39 of 2010] of the Parliament of India, aiming to revive the erstwhile renowned ancient seat of learning, which thrived from 5th century CE to 12th century CE, as the first residential university of the world.

The rejuvenation of ancient Nalanda was proposed by former President Late Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam. The member states attending the East Asia Summits [Cebu, 2007 and Hua Hin, 2009], also sought the revival of the ancient Nalanda to “improve regional understanding and appreciation of one another’s heritage and history; to strengthen regional educational cooperation; and to build a community of learning which symbolises the spirituality that unites all mankind.” Other countries of the world have also signed intergovernmental memoranda of understanding to support the Nalanda University.
