The question is, what is the name of the first university in the world? Al-Qurawin University, established in 859 at Morocco's face, was named as the world's first university. But what is the world's first residential university?

Residential University means that the knowledge of the university can be achieved by staying at the university and staying there. Historians said that Nalanda University is the first residential university developed on the earth. Founded in Bihar in the 5th century, it is located 88 km southeast of Patna.

Nalanda Sanskrit word The meaning of the word "naalam" means "lotus" and symbol of knowledge and the meaning of "give" is given. As the word 'nalanda' means 'give knowledge'. It is believed that Nalanda can also emerge from the divine power of Naga.

The educational institution of Buddhist people was built between the fifth and sixth centuries and lasted till 1197 AD. There are some disagreements about the exact time of this university. It is said that Maurya Emperor Asoka founded the first Buddhist temple at Nalanda in 300 BC, which later became the center of Buddhist research. Most historians agree that during the reign of King Kumar Gupta, Buddhist beggars established Nalanda in Magadha in 427 AD.

The university was so popular that students from China, Tibet, Greece, Korea, Turkey, and Persia came to study here. Although Nalanda was originally designed for the study and research of Buddhism, there were many topics taught in archery, governance, ecology, astronomy, Hinduism, Vedas, theology, logic, grammar, linguistics, medical science and science. 68 subjects were taught in Nalanda. The minimum age for admission in the university was 16. Among the famous teachers in Nalanda, the living, the Pannini, the Kutila, Vishnu Sharma were one.

But this knowledge sheet was destroyed. Not once, three times. Several times Nalanda faces the attack of ex-enemy For the first time during Skand Gupta (455-467 AD). Middle East warlar Hanara attacked Nalanda under the leadership of Mihirakula. They killed Buddhist students and religious teachers. Skandagupta and his next descendants rebuilt Nalanda.

After about one and a half centuries, Nalanda is again facing the destruction of Nalanda. This time the Bengal ruler Shashanka attacked Shashanka, ruler of Murshidabad, was in conflict with King Harshavardhana. When King Shashanka entered the Magadha, he destroyed the holy places of Buddhists. The Buddha's footprint was broken. In the description of Chinese traveler Hiuen Tsang, the history of the destruction of Shashanka and the destruction of Nalanda has been shown.

For the third time in Nallanda University in 1193, Turkish fighter turned into a rubble by Bakhtiyar Khilji. However, no document was found in this regard. The history of Bakhtiyar Khilji's Bihar campaign is recorded in the book 'Tabbakat-i-Nasiri' only in the historic Minhaj.

However, Nalanda could not be completely destroyed, a large part was burnt. Originally, it was completely closed in the fifteenth century. It is said that the University of Nalanda was the world's best gemmist. Last night when Nalanda University was burnt, the books stored in its library were burnt for almost three months.

With the help of China, Japan and Singapore, the resumption of the university began in 2006 in the collapsed debris. After rescinding Nalanda, the whole world was shocked to see its extent, the structure of buildings and architecture. The rooms and facilities of the buildings were judged to be found that there were 10 thousand students and 2,000 teachers in the old age.
