On February 9, 2006, new york Times reported in detail the reconstruction plan near the ancient site of Nalanduo Temple, which will cost 65,438 billion US dollars.

Remote location, suspicious influence
Academic circles estimate that it will be difficult to build a world-class university in the hinterland. Academic circles question whether top students or scholars will be attracted. Principal Amartya Sen does not deny that the former Narando Temple took 200 years to flourish. "I believe it will take decades this time."
Altebech, an American expert in higher education, believes that it may attract some great thinkers. Some analysts believe that the historical significance of Nalanda, coupled with Bodhgaya, the place where Sakyamuni became a Buddha nearby, is believed to be quite attractive to the academic community.
Classes will resume after 800 years.
After being destroyed and abandoned by the Turkish army more than 800 years ago, Narando Monastery is expected to resume classes in 20 14, enrolling about 100 students for postgraduate courses offered by the School of History and the School of Ecology and Environment.
The new school will be rebuilt at a distance of12km from the site of Nalanduo Temple in Rajgil, Bihar. The campus will use solar energy, there will be a large artificial lake in the center, and a huge dome library will be located by the lake. The overall design conforms to the concept of ancient Buddhist architecture. Before the school building is completed in 2020, classes will be held in temporary school buildings.
The teacher-student ratio is 1:5, which provides master's and doctoral programs for 2450 students, but there is no bachelor's degree. Like the ancient Nalanduo Temple, it will be a boarding university.
The new college is led by Amartya Sen, a Nobel laureate in economics, and former Singaporean Foreign Minister reny is in charge of the advisory committee. Cooperate with famous universities such as Yale and Peking University, hoping to become a world-class university.
