The Department of Social Welfare is set to establish two unique museums — Interactive Constitution Museum and the Maharishi Valmiki and Ramayana Museum — in the city.

These museums will be set up in Nagadasanahalli near Yelahanka at a cost of ₹120 crore and ₹60 crore, respectively. The museums will be of international standards and will be constructed on eight acres, Deputy Chief Minister G Parameswara stated in a press release.

“The State government hopes to encourage dialogue between Constitution guarantees and rights that govern the Indian republic, and the spirituality and philosophy that has created one of the richest cultures in the world,” said the release.

The project was spearheaded by Minister for Social Welfare Priyank Kharge, and he said, “The two museums will be the most befitting monuments to the father of the Indian Constitution Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, and Maharshi Valmiki, who immortalised the epic Ramayana and inspired people with great values.”
