New Delhi: "Mahatma Gandhi is not only in our past; he is in our present and will also form a significant part of the future that we want for our country and its people," Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said while launching a portal, dedicated to writings, works and manuscripts of Gandhi, at his residence in Delhi.
He said the Gandhi Heritage Portal is a technology-driven initiative aimed at making information on him accessible all over the world on an electronic platform.
"It aspires to be one of the most authentic open source archives on the life and thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi. I am confident that it will be an invaluable resource for generations to come, especially for the youth worldwide. This collection of documents provides great source material on our freedom struggle and captures the triumphs and tribulations, the thoughts and visions of an entire generation of freedom-fighters led by Bapu," Dr Singh said.
He listed out National Manuscripts Mission, Digital Library of India, variorum on Tagore and this portal as some of the important steps taken by his government.
He said the Gandhi Heritage Sites Mission set up will go in for professional conservation and management of buildings where he stayed and bring published and unpublished documents, photographs and audio visuals, among others.
