Memorial in honour of Madan Mohan Malviya

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: Former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam inaugurated a national memorial in honour of veteran freedom fighter and founder of Banaras Hindu University, Madan Mohan Malviya, in the Capital on Thursday, marking the 147th birth anniversary of the national leader.

“Malviya Smriti Bhawan”, which houses a museum on the life and times of Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, has been constructed by the Mahamana Malviya Mission (the BHU alumni association) here on Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg near ITO.

At its first international meeting held in Delhi in 2001 and addressed by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Mahamana Malviya Mission decided to build a national memorial in honour of Pandit Malviya. Subsequently, former Vice-President Bhairon Singh Shekhawat laid the foundation stone of the memorial.

Malviya Smriti Bhawan will propagate the ideals and thoughts of Madan Mohan Malviya. Mahamana Malviya Mission is already running many ‘Malviya Mission’ centres at many places like Lucknow, Varanasi, Delhi, Jammu, Ambikapur and Bishunpur.
