Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Lucknow today to mark the 101st birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee. At approximately 2:30 pm, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the Rashtra Prerna Sthal and address a public gathering.
Rashtra Prerna Sthal has been developed as a landmark national memorial dedicated to honoring the life, ideals, and legacy of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, one of India’s most revered statesmen whose leadership profoundly impacted the nation’s democratic, political, and developmental journey.
The complex has been constructed at a cost of approximately ₹230 crore and spans 65 acres. It is envisioned as a permanent national asset designed to foster leadership values, national service, cultural consciousness, and public inspiration.
The memorial features 65-feet-high bronze statues of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, symbolizing their contributions to India’s political thought and nation-building.
A centerpiece of the complex is a state-of-the-art museum designed in a lotus-shaped structure, covering approximately 98,000 square feet. The museum showcases India’s national journey and the contributions of these visionary leaders through advanced digital and immersive technologies, offering visitors an engaging and educational experience.
The inauguration represents an important step in preserving and promoting the ideals of selfless leadership and good governance, serving as a source of inspiration for present and future generations.
