essay on nalanda university

Answer 1

Nalanda University (also known as Nalanda International University) is a prestigious international university located in Rajgir, near Nalanda, India, which was established by an Act of Parliament to emulate the famous Nalanda University of ancient India. The original university functioned for 800 years from around 400 AD, long before Oxford, Cambridge or Harvard came into existence. Nalanda University at its peak housed 10,000 students from all across Asia. Some famous personalities associated with the original university include Lord Buddha, who preached at Rajgir centuries earlier. The university began its first academic session on September 1, 2014 with 15 students including five women. Initially set up with temporary facilities in Rajgir, a massive modern campus is expected to be finished by 2020. The university has been designated as an "international university of national importance."

Answer 2

Nalanda was the seat of Buddhist learning. It was built largely by Buddhist disciples, but Guptas, the orthodox Hindus also patronised it. The university had a plan of its own. Monastic buildings and stupas were arranged in a regular fashion round the central college which had 7 halls.It has 300 smaller rooms for lecturing work. The building was exceptionally high. The very name Nalanda has been derived from the word Na-alam-da insatiable in giving, implying that the university education in those days did not cram the mind with knowledge but created an insatiable thirst for it.It has 300 smaller rooms for lecturing work.
