Nalanda stood for seven centuries because kings endowed it, villages fed it, and merchants kept its lamps lit. Patronage is not charity to us. It is the oldest instrument of civilization, and we intend to use it well.

Record your pledge

Record your intent here and we will write to you personally with the instrument of transfer and the ledger of what your standing funds. Every rupee and dollar is accounted for in a quarterly public statement.

The treasury is the root of the state; from the treasury comes the strength of the state.
