Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhans announcement regarding development of museum in the memory of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose in Central Jail Jabalpur and opening of Netajis barracks for public viewing will be implemented on Sunday, on his 125th birth anniversary. For this, necessary preparations have been completed in Jabalpur. On two days a week, the general public will be able to see the chamber of Subhash Chandra Bose, where he was imprisoned.
It may be mentioned that in the year 2007, Chief Minister Chouhan had named Jabalpur Jail after Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. Along with this, the initiative of construction and development of the monument was also started here.
Just as the Cellular Jail in Andaman and Nicobar has been developed as Veer Savarkar Memorial, similarly many works have been done under a concrete initiative to develop Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Jail of Jabalpur as a Prerak Sthal. Among these, items such as Netajis clothes, shackles worn by him, his handwritten letters and inscriptions related to his jail visit have been given the form of a museum.
In this regard, with the initiative of the Madhya Pradesh government, this will be the first Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose museum in the state and the second in the country. Citizens will not have to pay any charges to visit the museum and the prison cell of Netaji. A museum has been established in New Delhi in the memory of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose since 2019.
Netaji Subhash Chandra Boses statue has been installed near the newly constructed Subhash Nagar RAILWAY Over Bridge in Bhopal. Along with this, the play I am Subhash is also being staged in Shaheed Bhawan in collaboration with the Department of Culture in Bhopal.
