Current Affairs - Bills and Acts - Discussion

The Nalanda University Act, which laid the foundation for the establishment of Nalanda University, was passed in the year 2010. Recently, on June 19, the Prime Minister inaugurated the new campus of Nalanda University near the ancient ruins of Nalanda in Rajgir, Bihar. This event marked a significant milestone in the revival of this historic institution, originally thriving for 800 years until its destruction in the 12th century. The Act was instrumental in formalizing decisions taken during the East Asia Summits in 2007 and 2009, underscoring India's commitment to restoring its legacy as an international centre of learning and cultural exchange.
