It
was the dream of Jugal Srimal to do something for the children.
He dreamt that the children of today have reached zenith of success
in their young age and become asset to the mankind. His this feeling
at last formed National Cultural Association in 1945. He had led
a team of young enterprising youth who spread the branches of the
Associations into multi faced projects of which the first was Nehru
Children's Museum that was inaugurated in 1972 on the birthday of
Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru. Sri Srimal had in his mind to teach the
children through the amusing activities like the Dolls and Toys,
Epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata in Nehru Children's Museum, Toy
Train in Rabindra Sarovar, Yearly Sit and Draw Art Competition and
other promotional activities for the underprivileged children. The
great soul went for heavenly abode in 1996. But his presence is
felt through the projects he has launched for the children. His
activities have been widely appreciated by the leading personalities
from India and abroad. Whatever success, Nehru Children's Museum
has achieved, it was owing to the great vision, missionary and zeal
of Late Jugal Srimal, the Founder Director of the Organization. |
