August 31, 2014 21:07

The ancient Nalanda University, which attracted students from the world over, will rise again tomorrow, as classes will begin at its newly established campus at Rajgir.

The event will also mark the fruition of the idea proposed by former President APJ Abdul Kalam while addressing a joint session of Bihar Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council way back 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 at 9 AM tomorrow. Right now there are 15 students and 11 faculty members at the campus," NU Vice-Chancellor Gopa Sabharwal told PTI.
