India's First Language-Based Museum

The Uttar Pradesh government has initiated the establishment of the country's first Hindi literature language museum in Kashi.
A budget of Rs 25 crore has been allocated for this pioneering project.
While Kolkata has a literary museum focused on Rabindranath Tagore, this will be India's first museum dedicated to a specific language.
The museum will be located in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's parliamentary constituency, adding to its significance.

Kashi's Rich Literary Heritage

Kashi (Varanasi) has been home to literary giants like Kabirdas, Raidas, Tulsi Das, Bharatendu Harishchandra, Munshi Premchand, and Jaishankar Prasad.
The city has consistently contributed to the enrichment of Hindi literature throughout history.
This rich cultural and literary background has inspired the creation of a unique museum dedicated to Hindi literature.

Museum Features and Development

The museum will house old manuscripts and books from eminent Hindi scholars.
Displays will include works, photographs, and important documents of famous Hindi litterateurs.
Statues of Hindi scholars will be installed to honor their contributions.
An amphitheater and auditorium are planned as part of the museum complex.
The project will include a garden, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
The museum will be constructed on the ground floor with three additional floors in the State Hindi Institute.
A 3D design for the museum has been prepared, pending final approval.
