PM Narendra Modi inaugurated the new campus of Nalanda University today.
PM Modi said, today we are inaugurating the new campus of Nalanda University. It is a reiteration of our commitment to encourage learning, research and innovation. It is also an effort to draw the best scholars from the world to come and pursue their education in our country.
Nalanda is not just a name, it is an identity; fire can burn books, but can’t destroy knowledge said Modi.
PM Modi also visited the excavated remains of Nalanda. He wrote on his X handle that “It was an opportunity to be at one of the greatest seats of learning in the ancient world. This site offers a profound glimpse into the scholarly past that once thrived here. Nalanda has created an intellectual spirit that continues to thrive in our nation.”
