- Prime Minister NarendraModi has inaugurated the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya in New Delhi on April 14. The Sangrahalaya, located at the iconic Teen Murti complex, was inaugurated as part of Azadika Amrit Mahotsav — a 75-week celebration launched to mark 75 years of Independence.
- The museum will become a source of inspiration for the youth who will be able to witness the hardships each PM faced and how they overcame them to lay the foundations of a new India. The museum will reflect the shared heritage of each government. The Congress alleged that the new museum was an attempt to dilute the legacy of India’s first PM Jawaharlal Nehru, a charge rejected by the Centre.
- The project to build the new museum faced stiff opposition when the government announced its plan in 2018.
- The museum building integrates the Teen Murti Bhawan in New Delhi, designated as Block I, with the newly-constructed Block II. The total area of the two blocks is over 15,600 square meters. There are 43 galleries in the Sangrahalaya.
- The logo of the Sangrahalaya, meanwhile, shows hands holding the dharma chakra, symbolizing the nation and democracy.
