Netaji memorial to come up at IGNCA complex

May 01, 2016 15:35

Culture Ministry is likely to allot up to six acres of land in the campus of Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts (IGNCA) in the heart of national

capital for construction of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose memorial.

The move will meet the long standing demand of the Netaji's INA Trust for allotment of land in "prominent area" of Delhi for construction of memorial of the freedom fighter.

"A decision in this regard has been taken by the Culture Ministry. The Ministry will allot land at the campus of IGNCA for the purpose," a Ministry source said.

IGNCA, considered a Congress legacy, was established in 1987, when Rajiv Gandhi was the prime minister, as a centre for research, academic pursuit and dissemination in the field of the arts.
