New Delhi, Aug 12 : A bill for re-establishing the ancient Nalanda university was introduced in the Rajya Sabha Thursday.

The Nalanda University Bill, 2010, will establish a central university in Nalanda district of Bihar, identifying with the ancient university, which was founded in 5th century AD and became a centre of learning for students from all across South Asia.

The bill seeks to develop the university as a seat of learning to attract students from all across South Asia.

"The university will impart education and enable research towards capacity building in the domain of ancient science which was practised in Nalanda several centuries ago," External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said introducing the Bill.

Dear Ejaj,
Agree with your thought 100%, it will certainly add value to South Asia & other countries and of-course Bihar will transform gradually into Vihar.

This is a wonderful news and I am sure it will bring glory to our state and the country. It should have happened many- many years back.
