The question of conversion of the University of Patna in a Central University has long been outstanding. Questions have been raised several times by Parliament, but the same are turned one way or another. Too late, the financial situation of the university that was once a great center of learning has deteriorated to such an extent that it is almost impossible for even the appearance of its true character and its glorious tradition.
