Nalanda is back
The last time I remember hearing about Nalanda University was in my history books way back in my school days. This is the finest of Universities, first of its kind founded in the entire world around the medieval period when Buddhism had a much wider presence. People from various asian countries studied in the Nalanda university. History says, that the entire university got destroyed over a period of time due to various political and economical reasons.
Looks like the booming asian market wants to rejuvenate and enlighten the glory that it had in the past. Now leaders from South Asian countries of Singapore, India, China, etc are talking about starting the Nalanda University again. A University with multinational student and teaching community will definitely bring in much broader perspective to the growing market. It will take the people of the region to the next level of understanding the neighbor in a much better manner. It can also lead to many world-class initiatives, given the fact there are more minds (people) that needs a focus.
Currently they are talking about US $500 Million to start with and an additional US $500 Million to provide the adjoining infrastructure. Sure these are small numbers for an University of that gratitude, but then it is just a start of talk and am sure they will be able to pull in grands - considering the booming markets in the sub continent.
A welcome salute to the upcoming University !
