Today I got an opportunity to present before revered alumni of
Patna University; a set of twelve pictures of ‘HERITAGE BUILDINGS and
illustration of THE GANGA RIVER-FRONT CAMPUS OF PATNA UNIVERSITY’ through the
kaleidoscope of time. It was presented at ‘Kahaanighar' on Monday (December 25, 2017).
Each poster was not only presenting the ‘visual of
heritage buildings’ but also taking ‘One and All’, to A JOURNEY IN THE PAST
because “The Historic Ganga River-Front Campus of Patna University” is
part of the great ‘Magadhan Capital of Pataliputra - Patna – Azimabad’; which includes Bankipur locality of the
colonial period, Muradpur locality of the medieval, and Mahendru
locality of the ancient periods respectively.

Magadh Mahila College; Retd. Prof. Shaileshwar Prasad Sati, Retd. Prof. Dr. N. K. Chaudhary, Former HOD, Economics

University Administrative Building, Wheeler Senate House, Patna College, Magadh
Mahila College, Bihar National College, Patna Medical College, Darbhanga House,
