The Inspiration
The Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya is a tribute to every Prime Minister of India since Independence, and a narrative record of how each one has contributed to the development of our nation over the last 75 years. It is a history of collective effort, and powerful evidence of the success of India's democracy. Our Prime Ministers came from every class and tier of society, for the gates of democracy were equally open to all. Each left an important footprint on the journey of development, social harmony and economic empowerment that has enabled India to give true meaning to freedom. We inherited an impoverished land from the debris of British colonialism, and together gave it a new life . This has lifted our country from famished deprivation to food-surplus status, and creating infrastructure over barren territory for the benefit of the people.
The Teen Murti Estate, home to India's first Prime Minister Shri Jawaharlal Nehru for 16 years, was the natural environment for Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya, because this is a story of continuity.The Sangrahalaya is a seamless blend which begins at the renovated and refurbished Nehru Museum building, now completely updated and technologically advanced displays on the life and contribution of Shri Jawaharlal Nehru. The new panorama includes a section which exhibits a large number of rare gifts received by him from all across the world but never put on display.
The saga of modern India starts with the freedom struggle and the making of a great Constitution. The 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. Within this story is a message for the younger generation: there are greater horizons to conquer as we transform India into New India.
Information collected through resources / repositories with institutions such as Prasar Bharti, Doordarshan, Film Division, Sansad TV, Ministry of Defence, Media Houses (Indian and foreign), Foreign News Agencies, etc. was used to develop content. Appropriate use of archives (private paper collections, collected works and other literary works, important correspondences), some personal effects, gifts & memorabilia (felicitations, honours, medals, commemorative stamps, coins, etc.) and speeches of Prime Ministers have been used to depict the different aspects of their lives in a thematic format.
