Narendra Modi in Bihar LIVE: PM to Visit Ancient Nalanda University Ruins!

Narendra Modi in Bihar LIVE: On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will officially open the new Nalanda University campus in Rajgir, Bihar. The Nalanda University Act of 2010 established Nalanda University, which has its new campus situated next to its old ruins. This Act was the result of a decision made in 2007 during the second East Asia Summit in the Philippines.

It features two academic blocks with 40 classrooms accommodating nearly 1,900 students, two administrative blocks, two auditoriums with a combined seating capacity of over 300, and hostels housing up to 550 students. The residential area includes 197 academic housing units, ensuring comfort and convenience for faculty and students alike.

US Department of State Spokesperson Matthew Miller says, “Deputy Secretary of State Kurt M. Campbell met today with Indian Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra and Deputy National Security Advisor Vikram Misri in New Delhi, India to discuss their enduring commitment to strengthening the U.S.-India partnership. Deputy Secretary Campbell congratulated Prime Minister Modi and the NDA government on their victory in national elections, and the people of India on making their voices heard in the largest democratic elections in history. They also discussed ways to strengthen regional and multilateral coordination across the Indo-Pacific region, including via the Quad partnership. Both the Deputy Secretary and Foreign Secretary expressed their intention to continue cooperation in ensuring a secure and prosperous Indo-Pacific region.”
