Previously, Modi had visited the ruins of Nalanda University, a public central university located in the Nalanda district of Rajgir.

The ruins were declared a United Nations Heritage site in 2016.

In March 2006, then President of India, late APJ Abdul Kalam, had proposed the idea to revive Nalanda University.

In the following year, the Bihar Assembly passed a bill to create the new campus.

Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen was the first Chancellor of the university 1,597 years ago.
