Already some rare photographs of Va.Ve.Su.Iyer, who was in the forefront of the freedom movement, especially the non-cooperation movement, are on display at the memorial. Besides, about 25,000 books were available, the department said in a release. Rare picture of Va.Ve.Su.Iyer, if available with anyone, could be handed over to the department for being displayed at the memorial.
