On
14 April 2005 at 9.00 am, a long held dream
became a reality. On that day, the Eternal
Gandhi multimedia museum was inaugurated
by Dr. Manmohan Singh, Hon'ble Prime Minister
of India, at Birla House Gandhi Smriti,
Tees Janvari Marg, New Delhi. The Aditya
Birla Group felt honoured at being the project
initiator on this momentous occasion.
The
response and reaction of people from all
over reaffirmed the Group's undeterred faith
in Gandhiji's life, values and teachings.
Children in particular, have shown great
interest in the interactive features of
the exhibition.
In
an effort to further propagate the teachings
of the Mahatma, a mobile version of the
Eternal Gandhi multimedia museum has been
created. It is hoped that this mobile edition
will travel to the farthest reaches of our
country and the
globe — that the world may see that
in the half-century since his demise, the
wisdom of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi has
grown from a gentle glow to a beacon of
hope that shines before people of all nations.
The
first exposition of the mobile edition of
Eternal Gandhi was opened on Saturday, 11
February 2006 at NGMA (National Gallery
of Modern Art), Sir C. J. Hall, Mahatma
Gandhi Marg, Mumbai 400 032 (Near Regal
Cinema) at 4 pm at the hands of renowned
filmmaker Shri Shyam Benegal. The path breaking
exhibit on the Father of our Nation will
be open till 12 March 2006 between 11 am
and 7 pm (except Mondays).
