Lucknow, 24th Dec: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Uttar Pradesh’s capital on December 25 to mark the 101st birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee and inaugurate the Rashtra Prerna Sthal, a landmark national memorial dedicated to his life and ideals.
At around 2:30 pm, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the memorial complex and address a public gathering in Lucknow. The Rashtra Prerna Sthal has been developed as a national inspirational centre to honour Vajpayee’s enduring contribution to India’s democratic, political and developmental journey.
Spread across 65 acres and built at an approximate cost of ₹230 crore, the complex has been envisioned as a permanent national asset aimed at fostering leadership values, national service and cultural consciousness.
A key highlight of the memorial is the presence of 65-foot-high bronze statues of Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, symbolising their seminal role in shaping India’s political thought and public life.
The complex also houses a lotus-shaped, state-of-the-art museum spread over nearly 98,000 square feet. Designed using advanced digital and immersive technologies, the museum showcases India’s national journey and the leadership legacy of these iconic figures, offering visitors an engaging and educational experience.
The inauguration of Rashtra Prerna Sthal marks a major step towards preserving and promoting the ideals of selfless leadership and good governance, and is expected to serve as a source of inspiration for present and future generations.
