Nalanda - World's oldest university recreated

Nalanda: It is the world's oldest university and after centuries, is now set to be recreated. Nalanda in Bihar, a renowned seat of learning and excellence 800 years ago, will soon stand tall again - this time as a truly international university.

The Nalanda International University, a pet project of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, hopes to revive the lost glory of the 4th century university that drew students and scholars from across Asia. The new avatar is also being designed to serve as India's very own centre for conflict resolution, on the lines of the one at Geneva.

A first of its kind in Asia, the university is being funded by India, China, Japan, Singapore and Thailand. The university will have seven schools comprising faculty from India and abroad who will impart teaching in courses like science, philosophy, spiritualism and international relations.


Nobel laureate Prof. Amartya Sen, who was appointed as the Chancellor of the university last week, has already announced that the first two of the seven proposed post-graduate schools will start functioning from next year. Each of the two schools - School of Historical Studies and School of Ecology and Environmental Studies - will have 100 students enrolled for the programme.

Absolute nonsense. Promoting ones country or heritage is fine but ignoring global facts and false claims are a crime!!

Fes in Moroco has the distinction of having the first university of the world.

Now don't ask for evidence just Google it.

Yaar, Pakistanis have an old disease of directly refuting anything thats Indian. Seriously, Nazam Sethi once said, Pakistanis no more posses a brain of a human being when India is in picture. Hence proved.

Please read it completely before infering things.

================
Other institutions of higher learning, like those of ancient Greece, ancient China, India, the Arab World, are not included in this article due to their cultural, historical and structual dissimilarities from the medieval European university.
================

So this list is essentially for all the universities which were made on the basis of European model.

Kyon bhai, european hai to university, baki sab chhappar school ?

Congratulations and best wishes for the success of the reincarnated Nalanda University,the pride of Ancient Bharata. The idea, the concept and the structure all seem to recreate and celebrate the glory of the ancient Nalanda. Participation by the various South Asian countries is a testimony & great message to the world of Nalanda's greatness past. In honor and reverence to Nalanda, in 1997,I named my Silicon Valley company, the Nalnada Group Inc,to help save a million lives by eliminating drunken driving, just as the new Nalanda will enlighten many million of young minds to make this a better world.

Doesn't change the fact that Nalanda University is older than the Moroccon Madrassa.
