Nalanda (Bihar); News Agency: Nalanda is not just a name, it is a symbol of a culture, a knowledge. There is a value… there is a mantra… there is a pride… there is a saga. Nalanda is actually the enunciation of truth. If someone sets it on fire, the books can burn, the university building can burn; But no matter what the enemies of knowledge decide, they cannot destroy science, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here on Wednesday.
The new campus of Nalanda University was inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was present on the occasion. Bakhtiyar Khilji, an invader, burnt down this university around 1190. His reference was behind this assertion of Prime Minister Modi. In his speech, Nitish Kumar expressed his gratitude for the great support of Prime Minister Modi in the reconstruction of the university. Earlier, Prime Minister Modi spent 20 minutes with the ruins of the old Nalanda University.
