The Magadh University seems to have figured out how to make big money It has decided . to set up a five-star hotel at Bodh Gaya. The hotel will serve twin purposes: commercial and educational. Bodh Gaya is the most widely visited tourist centre in the state. It draws domestic and international tourists who are on the Buddhist circuit. So it makes good business sense to enter the hospitalisation industry .
Besides, the university intends to introduce a hotel management course, so the hotel would provide hands-on experience to the students. Confirming the move, vice-chancellor B.N. Pandey said he had met officials of the Delhi-based Banarasi Das Chandiwala Institute of Hotel Management and Catering Technology on Sunday and sought assistance for the project.
To execute the project, the university would seek funds from the state government and the University Grants Commission.
