Description :-

The Yuva Tourism club students of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sector 31 were taken for a day excursion to the National Gallery of Portraits in Chandigarh. The museum is the house of many portraits and recorded voices of great leaders of India, paintings, photos, sculptures and even some rare documents related to the struggle of India's freedom movement. Its key collection is on Mahatma Gandhi Ji and Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru Ji. The visuals and documents which are displayed in the gallery tell the story of how the people of India waged a struggle to win back their freedom and to build a new India and give a glimpse of the reawakening of India from the time of first war of independence of 1857 to the achievement of freedom in 1947 when India fulfilled her 'tryst with destiny' and assumed rightful place in the country of free nations. The gallery displays forty one well researched computer generated photo and document panels which have been collected from the known historical research organizations, institutions and archives of the country. The panels are supported by the oil paintings of portraits, metal and plaster cast sculptures of selected freedom fighters, murals and dioramas. The children had a very fruitful trip.
