Nehru Museum Renamed

Jawaharlal Nehru is "known for the work he did", says Rahul Gandhi…


On Wednesday, the central government renamed the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said Jawaharlal Nehru is known for the works he has done and "not just for his name", said on Thursday, 17 August 2023.

"Nehru Ji is known for the work he did, and not just his name,” the Congress MP said.

The Centre renamed the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) in New Delhi to the Prime Ministers' Museum and Library Society.

The decision was taken on India’s 77th Independence Day.

Announcing the renaming, the vice-chairman of the Prime Ministers' Museum and Library's executive council A Surya Prakash wrote on X that the decision is "in tune with the democratisation and diversification of the remit of the society".
