Granth Kutir at Rashtrapati Bhavan

President Droupadi Murmu inaugurated Granth Kutir at Rashtrapati Bhavan as a national repository of India’s classical literary and knowledge heritage. The collection includes around 2,300 books and nearly 50 manuscripts in 11 classical Indian languages, covering subjects from epics and philosophy to science and the Constitution of India. Developed with support from the Ministries of Education and Culture and technical expertise from IGNCA, the initiative aims to preserve fragile manuscripts, promote awareness of India’s intellectual traditions, and symbolically connect ancient wisdom with modern democratic values.
