Nalanda University is open after vacation ..


The vacation break this time was a bit longer than the usual two months, just 800 years .. after being among the very few Universities of the world from 400 AD to 1200 AD, Nalanda University, the world's oldest, is back in action with a batch of 15 students .. It is also a fact to note that from the ashes of the closed Nalanda University rose the Oxford University.

Special thanks to great Indians who worked for this Prof. Amartya Sen, the Economics Nobel laurete, presently working in Harvard University and Dr A P J Abdul Kalam, the former President of India.
