Speaking on the occasion Dr Sharma said, “ Under the leadership of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi this new museum ‘Azaadi Ke Diwane’ has been started in the series of Kranti Mandir to inspire the younger generation letting them know the cost of freedom that the great fighters achieve by sacrificing their life.” He congratulated the team of ASI for coming up with this digitised and interactive Museum.

The museum is a modern state-of-the-art, informative and educational exhibition, involving multi-sensory technologies to engage the visitors. It is so designed that as one moves from one section of the gallery to the other, a sense of awakening and spiritual awareness overwhelms an individual, a feeling of patriotism sweeps through, inspiring the visitors to relive the struggle of the Indian Freedom fighters and value the freedom.
