Nalanda University | From Ashes To Ideas: Nalanda’s Return As India Aspires To Be Vishwaguru Again
From the historic ruins of Nalanda Mahavihar to a state-of-the-art, net-zero campus, India is reviving one of the world’s oldest centres of learning. Once home to a vast repository of knowledge whose library burned for months, Nalanda now stands reborn with a focus on sustainability, ethics, and interdisciplinary education. In an exclusive walkthrough, NDTV’s Science Editor Pallava Bagla speaks with Vice-Chancellor Sachin Chaturvedi about Nalanda’s transformation and its role in India’s vision to become a global knowledge leader once again. President Droupadi Murmu is set to visit the university on March 31, 2026, marking another milestone in its historic journey.
