Erik Solheim, former UN environment chief, commended India’s ancient educational institution, Nalanda, as a center for wisdom. He emphasized the importance of seeking knowledge and insights from such historical seats of learning, highlighting their relevance in contemporary society and the pursuit of sustainable development.

Mounds near Nalanda Mahavira, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Bihar, are facing destruction due to soil extraction activities. This endangers the preservation of the historical and cultural significance of the site, highlighting the conflict between development needs and heritage conservation efforts. Urgent attention is required to protect this invaluable landmark.
