The Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund (JNMF) launched the Nehru Archive from Teen Murti, New Delhi, on the 136th birth anniversary of India’s first Prime Minister. In its first phase, the ‘Selected Works of Jawaharlal Nehru’, comprising 100 volumes and 35,000 documents, is now available online for free. JNMF trustee and Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the second phase will focus on locating letters written to Nehru by eminent personalities like Tagore, Einstein, Gandhi, Azad, Rajendra Prasad, Patel, Mountbatten family, and Churchill. The digital archive complements existing Nehru collections at the Prime Ministers’ Museum & Library.
