The resurrection of the ancient university will bring to fruition of an idea proposed by the former President APJ Abdul Kalam in 2006.

We will have a low-key launch with classes for the School of Ecology and Environmental Studies and the School of Historical Studies beginning 9 am on Monday. Right now there are 15 students and 11 faculty members, NU Vice-Chancellor Gopa Sabharwal said.

Sabharwal said there were two reasons for starting on a small note as she wanted the students and teachers to settle down, and that External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj would be visiting on September 14.

We have decided to have a big function when Swaraj visits NU on September 14. By that time things will settle down, Sabharwal added.

The University on Sunday completed the three-day orientation programme for students.
