The Prime Minister has made the occasion special because he is bringing the diplomats of East Asia Summit countries. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is also coming. This celebratory spirit will give Nalanda a boost.\u201d<\/p>\n
Modi will visit ancient Nalanda, which was announced as a UN heritage site in 2016, around 9.45am and will be inaugurating the campuses around 10.30am. He will also give a speech, according to a statement from the Prime Minister\u2019s Office (PMO).<\/p>\n

Bihar governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and chief minister Nitish Kumar will join the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n
The university moved to its new campus in 2020, which combines traditional and modern architecture. The 455-acre campus includes a Net Zero area with 100 acres of water bodies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
