The two ancient Buddhist universities of Nalanda and Vikramashila in India are presently undergoing a renaissance. The new Nalanda University, in Rajgir in Bihar State, began offering courses on 1 September, while the government of India is currently in the process of reviving Vikramashila, in Bihar’s Bhagalpur district. According to a report on the Indian website Outlook, Bihar’s chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi disclosed the initiative for Vikramashila to reporters in Bhagalpur while reviewing development schemes in the region. “We will reinstate the Vikramashila University to its lost glory. It will be on the lines of Nalanda University,” he stated.  See at more: http://enews.buddhistdoor.com/en/news/d/48865
