Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the new campus of Nalanda University in Bihar next week.

The campus, named after the renowned ancient seat of learning, marks a significant milestone in the region’s educational revival.

Officials of the state government and the central university convened on Saturday to finalise preparations for the Prime Minister's visit on June 19.

Dignitaries including Governor Rajendra Arlekar and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar are expected to attend the ceremony. PM Modi is scheduled to spend an hour and a half at the event and will arrive by helicopter from Gaya airport.

The university, located less than 20 kilometers from the historic Nalanda Mahavira—a World Heritage site—was re-established in 2010 by an Act of Parliament.

This modern incarnation draws inspiration from the original Nalanda, which flourished as a global center of learning until the 13th century.

The concept for this international university was supported by member countries at the East Asia Summit and initially proposed by former President APJ Abdul Kalam during a joint legislative session in Bihar.

Spread across 450 acres, the sprawling campus will offer courses in Hindu Studies, Buddhist Studies and Comparative Religion, and Ecological and Environmental Studies.
