The Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) has officially been renamed as the Prime Ministers’ Museum and Library (PMML) Society with effect from August 14.
Nehru Memorial Renamed As Prime Ministers’ Museum And Library
PMML vice-chairman A Surya Prakash confirmed the same on August 15. “Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) is now Prime Ministers’ Museum and Library (PMML) Society w.e.f August 14, 2023 – in tune with the democratisation and diversification of the remit of the society. Happy Independence Day! @narendramodi, @rajnathsingh @MinOfCultureGoI,” Prakash wrote on ‘X’, formerly known as Twitter.
It was resolved to change its name to PMML Society during a special meeting in mid-June which was presided over by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. Despite having received an invitation from the government, no member of the Nehru-Gandhi family was present during the inauguration.
“Housed in a new building the museum then goes on to tell the story of how our Prime Ministers navigated the nation through various challenges and ensured the all-round progress of the country. It recognizes all the Prime Ministers, thereby democratizing the institutional memory,” the Cultural Ministry release said.
