Susham Swaraj to inaugurate Nalanda University today

The ancient Nalanda University, which had attracted students from the world over, will be formally inaugurated on Friday in its modern ‘avatar’ by External Affairs minister Sushma Swaraj.

Bihar chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi will also be present at the inaugural function to be held at Rajgir, around 100 km southeast of Patna. Classes have already begun at the under-construction residential international university, located around 12 km away from the ruins of the ancient university, on 1 September by way of a soft launch and without any ceremony.
