Education has always been at the core strength of Indians and the reason is very deep rooted. Empasis on Education can be traced back to the first millen<\/a>nium and the few centuries preceding it. Seeking Knowledge and passing it down the generations is a common attribute of Indians. History traces how education was imparted at Nalanda University, Takshashila University, Ujjain, & Vikramshila University in ancient India.<\/p>\n Art, Architecture, Painting, Logic, Mathematics, Grammar, Philosophy, Astronomy, Literature, Buddhism, Hinduism, Arthashastra (Economics & Politics), Law, and Medicine. Each University emerged as a pioneer in a particular field of study. Takshila specialized in medicine, while Ujjain emphasized on astronomy.<\/p>\n Excavations by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) reveal that monasteries flourished during the Gupta period. The Nalanda University was the largest University offering education in all fields of learning. This Buddhist center of learning, founded in Bihar, is referred to as “one of the first great universities in recorded history.”<\/p>\n
