New Delhi, Apr 3 (IBNS): President Pranab Mukherjee visited Vikramshila University Monuments and Museum on Monday.

Speaking on the occasion, the President said that he was happy to come to Vikramshila University which is being established on the site of this ancient centre of higher learning and to visit the monuments and the museum.

They reflect an era where a rich culture of learning flourished in the region. It is heartening to find that after meticulous excavations carried out over the last few decades, it has been decided to revive this seat of learning.

He also complimented the Archaeological Survey of India in this regard.
