Nalanda University Open Again
On 1 September Nalanda University, a proposed
global center of research and teaching excellence, is set to open its
doors in the Buddhist pilgrimage town of Rajgir in Bihar State, India.
Initially, 40 students have enrolled in two postgraduate courses offered
by the schools of Historical Studies, and Environment and Ecology.
A plan to revive the university based on the
vision of the old Nalanda was announced by India, China, Singapore,
Japan, and Thailand in 2006. The East Asia Summit, which included some
countries in Southeast Asia as well as Australia, New Zealand, Russia
and the US, gave its backing to the endeavor. See at More: http://enews.buddhistdoor.com/en/news/d/48015
