Indira Gandhi Memorial Trust

The Indira Gandhi Memorial Trust was established in early 1985 to honour the life and propagate the legacy of India's martyred Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. The Trust manages the Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum and a website, I Am Courage, with the URL indiragandhi.in, which provides an interactive platform about the life and times of Indira Gandhi. It also manages the annual Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development, instituted in 1985, that has been awarded to 30 international personalities and institutions for outstanding work and achievements. The Trust organizes a memorial function every year on the martyrdom anniversary of Indira Gandhi, October 31, and commemorates her birth anniversary on November 19. It is celebrating her centenary year in 2017. Deepthi Sasidharan and Pramod Kumar K.G. of Eka Archiving Services worked at the Indira Gandhi Memorial Trust over four years in the documentation and digitization of the photographic materials' archives and have curated the centennial photographic exhibition 'Indira Gandhi: A Life of Courage'.
