Former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam has refused to associate himself with the historical Nalanda International University. This is said to have occurred some three months back. Dr. Kalam is not in agreement with few of the decisions made by the Nalanda Mentor Group. As per reports published in several dailies, Dr. Kalam was initially offered the Role of Visitor in the University, however later it was said that he would teach and have other engagements, but not as a visitor. The visitor has the power to inspect the university and appoint one or more people to review its work and progress.

The University is expected to begin in 2013 with two schools – the school of historical sciences and the school of environment and ecology. The state government had acquired nearly 500 acres of land and infrastructure work was on at the site. The university will be fully residential, like the ancient Nalanda.
