Nationalism: Past as Prologue began as a single volume being compiled by Ad Akande, a scholar from South Africa, who proposed it to me as co-author about two years ago. The original idea was to examine how the damaging roots of nationalism have been corroding political systems around the world, and creating dangerous obstacles for necessary international cooperation.

The existence of a formal university system of education in India has been from the days of Nalanda and the likes of Taxila, Vikramashila, which proves that India was well ahead of its time in the field of education. The Nalanda University rose to prominence with scholars and students from Central and Southeast Asia till the last years of the 12th century after which it was destroyed by rulers of that time. The existence of Nalanda University has laid the foundation for the modern concept of university-level education uplifting the level of literacy and shedding the darkness of ignorance of the then civilization. The chapter examines the scope of bettering the state of higher educational institutions in India and the world in their endeavor to become centers of excellence. The chapter also examines the advantages of leveraging word of mouth, which could help the institutions build on their brands and improve upon their rankings.

The idea of sustainability means addressing current requirements without jeopardising future generations' capacity to meet their own. It is a guiding concept for building a world in which present and future generations may flourish. In the present era all the sectors are shifting towards sustainable development, including the tourism sector, which is another significant contributor towards country's economic development. This chapter deals with power generation using renewable energy for sustainability in tourist resorts and hotels. The adaptation of green energy or renewable energy by the government, businesses, and individuals is increasing for the transition to a more sustainable environment. This chapter is focused on the world heritage site ‘Nalanda', located near Rajgir, in the state of Bihar, which is a tourist destination and attracts a large number of tourists. Thus being a tourist destination, the hotels and resorts located nearby must adopt sustainable practices. Nowadays many tourists prefer those hotels and resorts that offer them a sustainable living. Bihar is a region with small hills, including the Rajgir hills in the centre, the Kaimur Range in the southwest, and the Shivalik Range in the north, which makes it suitable for wind turbine set up and the abundant availability of sunlight throughout the year makes it ideal for setting up of PV. A power plant is being developed in a village called Kulin the Nalanda district, using HOMER Pro software taking wind and solar as the sources for generation of electricity which can be supplied there through grid to the resorts and hotels.

National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 signifies a significant turning point in the Indian education system, reminiscent of ancient centres of learning like Taxila and Nalanda. These historical institutions attracted scholars and students globally, reflecting India's rich tradition of education. In today's world, NEP-2020 paves the way for international collaboration, allowing the seamless exchange of students, faculty, and knowledge across borders. The policy outlines key initiatives to restore India's global educational reputation, positioning it as a viśvaguru once again. By embracing globalization in education, India can regain its esteemed status on the global stage. This research paper aims to comprehensively evaluate the positioning of India as a global education hub under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The study will delve into the policy's impact on academic mobility, both inbound and outbound, and analyze its strategies for fostering international collaborations and partnerships. Additionally, the paper will scrutinize challenges and criticisms concerning the implementation of cross-border education initiatives outlined in NEP 2020. This research underscores the transformative impact of NEP-2020, emphasizing its role in reshaping India's global education landscape through cross-border initiatives.
