The National War Memorial was established in 2019 and it is a monument, which has been built to honour the soldiers who have made the supreme sacrifice for the country.
The National Police Memorial is a commemoration of the sacrifice of over 34,000 police personnel, who have laid down their lives in the line of duty. This Memorial was inaugurated in October 2018.
Inaugurated in April last year by PM Modi, the Pradhan Mantri Sangrahalaya is a museum dedicated to all Indian prime ministers from India’s independence onwards. Built at a cost of Rs 271 crore, this museum talks about the contribution of all 14 Indian prime ministers of India in nation-building.
