Library Tour - Prime Ministers’ Museum Library

[Kumaarsantosh]

Hi @KetanChhaniyara,

Thank you so much for going through in detail and posing the insightful question. I loved the way you have structured your comments.

The Prime Minister Museum properly known as ‘Pradhanmantri Sanghrahalaya’ itself has two buildings known for museums. For the newly inaugrated museum all the latest facilities are available including taking pictures with the Prime Ministers (Don’t ask how here, just to keep the curiosity on😀), virtual Helicopter tour etc. I shall be covering those details in my another series on Museum Tour.

In this post of mine the coverage is largely on the Libraries which are inside PM Museum premises. It was a day long tour for me but I did spend good time for Libraries visit as well. As I have mentioned here, it was not open for everyone and hence could not get an opportunity to look at the available resources.

This library is not open for everyone. Only members are allowed to go inside the reading hall and have access to the available resources. Membership of the library is available for a selected categories of Research Scholars who are mainly working for Humanities and Social Sciences.

Yes, while visiting here as I have mentioned I did get a chance to glance through the books.

There is another small library inside Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya (Prime Minister Museum) premises, where there is a collection of Prime Ministers’ Books known as ‘Prime Ministers Book Collection’. Access to this library and available resources is free for all. I had access to all PMs (as on date) books to glance through.

In particular I loved flipping through the books on Shri Gulzarilal Nanda (Second Prime Minister of India) and Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri (Third Prime Minister of India).

I fully agree with you saying,

@KetanChhaniyara

The way you’ve captured the essence of the tour in your post makes it feel like a must-visit for history enthusiasts.

Hope I did some justice to your ask.
