What Is The Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya?

The PM's museum, which is set to open next week, reveals the story of India post Independence through the contributions and lives of its prime minister.

Previously, the PMO had stated that this museum had been guided by PM Modi's idea to honour the sacrifices and contributions of all the PMs of India, who helped in nation-building and will act as a tribute to all the prime ministers of the country since Independence, regardless of the ideology they followed or their tenure in office.

It aims to sensitise and inspire the younger generation about the leadership, vision, and achievements of all our prime ministers.

During the event, PM Modi said that since its Independence, every government formed In India has contributed to taking the country to the heights it has achieved today. Furthermore, he also pointed out that, except for a few instances, India has a glorious tradition of strengthening the country's democracy in a very democratic manner.
