Taking to the micro-blogging site X, Minister Pegu emphasized the importance of this initiative stating, “The Assam State Museum is a treasure trove of our history and heritage. Recognizing that not everyone can travel to Guwahati to experience this, we’re bringing select items and replicas to colleges and universities across Assam.”
The first stop for this traveling exhibition is Dhemaji College, where it will be available for viewing from August 29 to August 31, 2024.
The program will focus on making the museum’s vast collection more accessible, especially to students who may not have the opportunity to visit the museum in Guwahati.
Furthermore, the exhibition will include both original artifacts and high-quality replicas, providing a glimpse into Assam’s past, from its ancient traditions to its vibrant tribal cultures.
“This initiative allows our students to see and learn from these valuable artifacts”, the Education Minister added.
