Project DDR

Currently working on Project DDR (Digital District Repository) under Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav (AKAM) with CCRT (Centre for Cultural Resources and Training) Ministry of Culture, Govt of India. DDR is a pathbreaking initiative of GoI to discover and document stories of people, events, and places linked to the freedom struggle of India at the micro level of the district (https://amritmahotsav.nic.in/digital-district-repository.htm). In short, this is an attempt to present the history of India by Indians through the Indian perspective.
