Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is in Bihar to inaugurate the new campus of the Nalanda university, was caught unawares as Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar checked his finger for indelible ink mark during the ongoing event on Wednesday.
PM Modi inaugurated the new campus in Bihar’s Rajgir. Governor Rajendra V Arlekar, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Kumar were also present on the occasion.
Before inaugurating the new campus, Modi visited the ‘Nalanda Mahavihara’, a UNESCO world heritage site located close to the varsity.
The educational institute was established through the Nalanda University Act in 2010 and it started functioning in 2014.
