Jairam Ramesh Marks First Anniversary of Nehru Digital Archive

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh marked the first anniversary of nehruarchive.in on the birth anniversary of India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. Ramesh described the digital repository as a "kavach" that will preserve Nehru's legacy against "distorians" who seek to defame him.

In a post on X, Ramesh targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referring to him as the "supposed MA in Entire Political Science," a reference to controversies surrounding Modi's educational qualifications.

An initiative of the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund, the archive contains 100 volumes of the Selected Works of Jawaharlal Nehru from 1903-1964, comprising approximately 77,000 pages, 34,000 text documents, and 3,000 images. Ramesh reported that the site has recorded over 1 million unique visitors and 4 million page views in its first year. He announced plans to expand the archive with additional letters, photos, films, and audio recordings from India and abroad.
