Nālandā University

Nālandā University was a renowned institution in India, established around the 5th century CE, serving as a major center for Buddhist learning and scholarship. Located in present-day Bihar, it attracted students and scholars from across Asia, fostering religious, philosophical, and scientific studies. The university was known for its extensive libraries and vibrant academic environment. Although it declined in the 12th century and was destroyed, efforts in recent years have aimed to revive Nālandā as an international university focused on global higher education and Buddhist studies, continuing its historic legacy of knowledge and cultural exchange.
