PM to virtually inaugurate Ropuiliani Tribal Freedom Fighters' Museum at Kelsih

Aizawl, Nov 14 (UNI) The Ropuiliani Tribal Freedom Fighters' Museum at Kelsih, about 15 km from Aizawl, will be among the tribal development projects to be virtually inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 15 as part of programmes organised by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs.
The museum is named after Ropuiliani, a prominent Mizo woman chief who resisted British colonial rule in the late 19th century. She refused to submit to British authority and was imprisoned by the colonial administration. She died in captivity in 1895 and is remembered for her resistance to British rule.
The museum, located within the Tribal Research Institute complex at Kelsih, forms part of a series of tribal heritage and development projects being launched across the country.
The Prime Minister is scheduled to lay foundation stones for 19 Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS), 12 Tribal Multipurpose Marketing Centres and 42 projects under PM-JANMAN and DAJGUA. He will also inaugurate 38 EMRS, 100 Multipurpose Centres under PM-JANMAN, the Tribal Research Institute in Arunachal Pradesh and the Ropuiliani museum in Mizoram.
The museum complex comprises a museum building, open-air theatre, traditional hut, heritage walk, Birsa Munda Tribal Pride Garden, cafeteria and staff quarters, among other facilities.
A meeting to review arrangements for the inauguration programme was held at the Chief Secretary's Conference Hall at MINECO on Friday, chaired by Chief Secretary Khilli Ram Meena. Senior officials from the General Administration, Art and Culture, Home, Information and Public Relations, Finance, Planning and Programme Implementation, PWD, Power and Electricity, and Public Health Engineering departments attended the meeting.
