IN PICS: Pradhan Mantri Sangrahalaya to be inaugurated on April 14

The ‘Pradhan Mantri Sangrahalaya’, Museum of Prime Ministers will be inaugurated in Delhi on April 14. The Museum will showcase the work done by all the former Indian Prime Ministers. It will also include the erstwhile building of the Nehru Museum Building. It recognizes the contribution of all PMs irrespective of their ideology or tenure in office, as per the vision of PM Modi.

 

 

 

‘Museum of PMs’ is an inclusive endeavour led by Prime Minister. It is aimed at inspiring the younger generation of India about the leadership, and achievements of all former PMs. Starting from India’s freedom struggle, the making of the Constitution, the Pradhan Mantri Sangrahalaya goes on to tell the story of how our Prime Ministers navigated the nation through various challenges and ensured the all-round progress of the country.

 

The design of the Pradhan Mantri Sangrahalaya building is inspired by the story of rising India, shaped and moulded at the hands of its leaders. The design incorporates sustainable and energy conservation practices. No tree has been felled or transplanted. The logo of the Pradhan Mantri Sangrahalaya represents the hands of the people of India holding the Chakra, symbolising the nation and democracy.

 

 

The Pradhan Mantri Sangrahalaya will showcase archival material, personal items, memorabilia, speeches of PMs and anecdotal representation of ideologies and different aspects of the lives of Prime Ministers of India — all reflected in a thematic format. It has employed cutting edge technology-based interfaces to present information in an easy, interesting and immersive manner, especially for the youth of India.

 

Holograms, virtual reality, augmented reality, multi-touch, multi-media, interactive kiosks, computerised kinetic sculptures, smartphone applications, interactive screens, etc, have been leveraged to make the Pradhan Mantri Sangrahalaya highly interactive.
