    We are talking about former prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri who had taken a loan of Rs 5,000 from PNB. The loan amount was later paid by Shastri's wife in the following years of his death in Tashkent. Recalling the instance, Shastri's son and former Union Minister Anil Kumar Shastri had once told a newspaper that the PM did not own a car though the family members had been pestering him for one. He told his secretary to find out how much a Fiat car cost. The price was found to be Rs 12,000. But Shastri had only Rs 7,000 in the bank. He applied to PNB bank for a loan of Rs 5,000, which was sanctioned in less than two hours. Shastri promptly summoned the bank officer who had sanctioned the loan to his office to inquire if the bank was equally prompt in sanctioning loans to other people. He advised the officer to be prompt in meeting the requirement of the bank’s customers, recalled Anil Shastri. Shastri passed away before he could pay back the loan. After his death the bank asked his wife, Lalita Shastri for the repayment of the loan, which she repaid from the family pension. The 1964 model Fiat bearing number DLE 6 was cream coloured. It is now exhibited in Delhi's Lal Bahadur Shastri Memorial at 1, Motilal Nehru Marg.

    One of the most exciting places which even my children also like is this. Please do make a visit. It's an amazing place to see and go through the era of Shastriji. How simply the great Indian of that era used to live. Admirable! His lifestyle, even tiny things is restored nicely. I got goosebumps to see his office and especially the India Map of that Era at his back office wall. Most underrated tourist places. Hours 10:00-17:00 ( Tuesday closed) Please do visit along with your child here 🙏

    Shastri ji's official PM residence was dedicated as a National Memorial in 2005 and houses all his personal belongings including his house and office artifacts, personal car, gifts from dignitaries, literature, galleries etc. One is inspired by his life and ideals of simple living, high thinking and higher devotion to honesty and hardwork for the society. The Memorial is free for public entry, open from 10 AM - 5 PM (Tuesday is holiday) and provides sufficient car parking and has wheelchair accessibility. The staff is courteous and helpful. The Annexe houses the Lal Bahadur Shastri Research Centre for Public Policy and Social Change (LBSRC) which is the Research Arm of Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management (LBSIM), Delhi.

    Shashtri Muesium Final I was inspired to go here after watching Tashkent diaries as this place is a memor for our beloved prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. You will see & understand things about him which you might not have known before.Lal Bahadur ji‘s life was very simple you can experience it from the way he lived as a prime minister for a large country live India. Everything in the place is as he had left it. His clock is stopped at the time when he left from India to Russia. His bedroom, kitchen, photpgraphs etc. are stored in pretty good condition. You can also see photographs of his wife , children, him visiting different places and the gift he received as railway minister & home Ministe. A lot of letters between him & Pt. Nehru, Gandhi are available to read. I have added a lot of photographs of this place in t for you. In case you read and see everything its as good as getting a physcial tour of this place. What you will miss is the vibe you get after you visit this place in person. To reach here you can get down at Lok Kalyan marg and get an uber or auto for last mile connectivity.

  • 4/5 Naashif M. 2 years ago on Google
    Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Memorial new Delhi, 1, Motilal Nehru Palace, Near 10 Janpath, Man Singh Road Area, New Delhi Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri was born on October 2, 1904 at Mughalsarai, a small railway town seven miles from Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. His father was a school teacher who died when Lal Bahadur Shastri was only a year and half old. His mother, still in her twenties, took her three children to her father’s house and settled down there. Lal Bahadur’s small town schooling was not remarkable in any way but he had a happy enough childhood despite the poverty that dogged him. He was sent to live with an uncle in Varanasi so that he could go to high school. Nanhe, or ‘little one’ as he was called at home, walked many miles to school without shoes, even when the streets burned in the summer’s heat. As he grew up, Lal Bahadur Shastri became more and more interested in the country’s struggle for freedom from foreign yoke. He was greatly impressed by Mahatma Gandhi’s denunciation of Indian Princes for their support of British rule in India. Lal Bahadur Sashtri was only eleven at the time, but the process that was end day to catapult him to the national stage had already begun in his mind. Lal Bahadur Shastri was sixteen when Gandhiji called upon his countrymen to join the Non-Cooperation Movement. He decided at once to give up his studies in response to the Mahatma’s call. The decision shattered his mother’s hopes. The family could not dissuade him from what they thought was a disastrous course of action. But Lal Bahadur had made up his mind. All those who were close to him knew that he would never change his mind once it was made up, for behind his soft exterior was the firmness of a rock. Lal Bahadur Shastri joined the Kashi Vidya Peeth in Varanasi, one of the many national institutions set up in defiance of the British rule. There, he came under the influence of the greatest intellectuals, and nationalists of the country. ‘Shastri’ was the bachelor’s degree awarded to him by the Vidya Peeth but has stuck in the minds of the people as part of his name. In 1927, he got married. His wife, Lalita Devi, came from Mirzapur, near his home town. The wedding was traditional in all senses but one. A spinning wheel and a few yards of handspun cloth was all the dowry. The bridegroom would accept nothing more. In 1930, Mahatma Gandhi marched to the sea beach at Dandi and broke the imperial salt law. The symbolic gesture set the whole country ablaze. Lal Bahadur Shastri threw himself into the struggle for freedom with feverish energy. He led many defiant campaigns and spent a total of seven years in British jails. It was in the fire of this struggle that his steel was tempered and he grew into maturity.

    Lal Bahadur Shastri Memorial exhibits the life of our second prime minister of India and how he helped India in reaching new heights. The museum is well maintained and you can see various trophies, clothes, gifts, and other items that Mr. Shastri received during his lifetime. Entry to the museum is free and there are washrooms located too at the end of the museum. One thing to be noted here you will some monkeys in the garden so be aware of them. You wi also find the car of Mr Shastri which he used when he was the prime minister of India.

    This is the memorial of our second and best prime minister Shree Lal bahadur shastri Ji. I have huge respect for this man, who gave the slogan of " Jai Jawan Jai Kisan". He is one of the true leader who got very less time as a prime minister to pay his duty towards the nation. If he had got sufficient time he would have made India master of the world.

  • 5/5 Ranjith R. 4 years ago on Google
    Deeply impressed and influenced by Mahatma Gandhi (with whom he shared his birthday), he joined the Indian independence movement in the 1920s. Following independence in 1947, he joined the Indian government and became one of Prime Minister Nehru's principals, first as Railways Minister (1951–56), and then in a variety of other functions, including Home Minister. He led the country during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1965. His slogan of "Jai Jawan Jai Kisan" ("Hail the soldier, Hail the farmer") became very popular during the war. The war formally ended with the Tashkent Agreement on 10 January 1966; he died the following day, still in Tashkent, with the cause of his death in dispute and it was reported to be a cardiac arrest but his family was not satisfied with it. Shastri was Congress loyalist. Although Shastri faced stiff opposition from within his party, his relationship with the party and his work aided his ascension to the office of Prime Minister.

    This is Lal Bahadur Shastri Ji's Home turned into Memorial. The building’s inner space is transformed into display rooms. The rooms showcasing his belongings reflect his very traditional and humble lifestyle. The interiors consist of a drawing room at the front, an anteroom, a bedroom, and a private verandah at the rear of the building.

    Lal bahadur shashtri memorial is excellent. Everything is in good condition. Shashtri's bedroom, kitchen, prayer room, meeting room can be watched. He bought his fiat car in installment of five years when he was active Prime Minister of India. Here photography is not allowed inside the house. His bravery and simplicity will remain in the heart of every Indian.
