Chairman’s Message

On 14th April, 2022 the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya was dedicated to the nation. On behalf of all of us associated with the setting up of this new museum, it is our deepest aspiration for the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya that it is recognised as the 'House of Democracy'. Each of our Prime Ministers since independence has played a pivotal role and contributed immensely towards the progress and development of our country. It is thus befitting that a new Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya has been set up to honour each one of them, a decision that originated from the Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

The magnificent Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya building stands in the precincts of the existing museum dedicated to the first Prime Minister, Shri Jawaharlal Nehru. This site for the new building block was chosen after serious deliberations, most significant being that the existing Nehru Museum continues to receive its place of honour. The memorial museum and the newly constructed museum building together is known as the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya, showcasing the legacies and achievements of all our Prime Ministers since 1947.

Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji's guidance was inspirational. His words that there should not be a poverty of creativeness and ambition in implementation of such projects radiates a nobler and higher understanding. Since museums represent a country's heritage, every citizen should have a sense of belonging and feel like a stakeholder of the Sangrahalaya. We leave it to our visitors to decide if we have been able to deliver as per the noble aims set by the Hon'ble Prime Minister. I humbly request all visitors to consider the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya as a work in progress considering that it will keep evolving and improving based on feedback from visitors. Please keep sending us your feedback for improvement.
