In the early 1950's, in order to revive the lost glory and the heritage of ancient Nalanda Mahavihara, his Excellency Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of the Republic of India, declared that the ancient seat of Buddhist learning at Nalanda would be revived. At the insistence of Ven. Bhikkhu Jagdish Kashyap and with this goal in mind, the Government of Bihar established a research institute called “Magadh Institute of Post-Graduate Studies and Research in Pali and Allied Languages and Buddhist Learning” at Nalanda in 1951. It later came to be known as Nava Nalanda Mahavihara - Nalanda .
The inspiration behind the establishment of this institute was to develop a centre of higher studies in Pali and Buddhism along the lines of ancient Nalanda Mahavihara. From the beginning, the institute functioned as a residential institution, with a limited number of Indian and foreign students. The present campus of Nava Nalanda Mahavihara - Nalanda is situated at Nalanda, Bihar which is 100 km from the metropolis of Patna , situated on the southern bank of the historical lake, Indrapuskarani. Close to the northern bank lie the ruins of the ancient University of Nalanda .
The main goals of Nava Nalanda Mahavihara - Nalanda are to develop an institute similar to that of the old Viharas, where teachers and students lived together devoting themselves to studies and higher academic pursuits for the promotion of higher studies and research in Pali language and literature and Buddhism through Tibetan, Sanskrit, Chinese, Mongolian, Japanese and other Asian languages; to maintain a modern and rich library in order to facilitate teaching and research; to accommodate monks, nuns and lay scholars versed in traditional monastic learning and acquaint them with current methods of research and comparative study; to collaborate with similar institutes in India and abroad for research; to send scholars to recognized Buddhist educational centres to learn about other traditions and to re-establish ancient cultural ties. Nava Nalanda Mahavihara - Nalanda offers different kind of undergraduate, postgraduate, certificate, diploma and preparatory courses.
Nava Nalanda Mahavihara - Nalanda library is housed in a two-story building known as the Library Building, which contains sixteen research cubicles with two large rooms on either side. Presently, the library includes over 52,500 books, important journals and a rare manuscript collection. To develop the library donations and purchases were made from the Late Rash Bihari Mukherjee, from Hoogly, West Bengal; Prof. (Dr.) Nalinaksh Datta, former University Professor and Head of the Department of Pali, University of Calcutta; and Prof. (Dr.) K. Venkat Ramanan, Director, Cheena Bhavan, Santiniketan, West Bengal.
Books comprising the Wheaton Loan Collection given by the U.S. Government are also an important donation, consisting of valuable dictionaries, encyclopaedias, journals and other reference books, a good collection of books on modern thought, including books on psychology, metaphysics, ethics, logic, sociology, and cultural anthropology. Bearing in mind the current trends in research, the library of Nava Nalanda Mahavihara - Nalanda subscribes to research journals and periodicals related to Indology and Buddhist learning. The Mahavihara also houses a collection of Manuscripts. Currently, planning is going on to catalogue these manuscripts and rare book collection. The process of computerization of the Library has already started and is in progress. Adequate facilities for library work are available.
