4. The Practice

The museums play a great role from the perspective of the Indian knowledge system. As the UGC has recommended that every student in UG and PG courses be encouraged to take credit courses in the Indian knowledge systems, Mewar University is using the heritage objects and material culture representative of the academic history and traditions as institutional promotion of IKS to potential students, staff, and funding bodies.

Gandhi Museum has a lot of things related to Indian Independence especially the rare book published by the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR). The book has only one edition and few numbers of copy came into the market. The centre has a library of all historical books related to independence so that students can feel the essence of the freedom movement by reading physical books rather than on their mobile phones. There is rich material on the history of Mahatma Gandhi is available. One would find every rare collection of a crawling Gandhi or running after the boy who is holding his stick, thousands of newspapers, Stamps, Portraits, Sculpture, Charkha, Takli, and many things featured in the ‘Hand Book’ of Gandhi, which will be released soon. This Museum is one of the milestones in the history of Mewar University, and it is named after one of the famous Gandhian and Journalist, Shri Prabhash Joshi whose contribution to the nation is significant.

Many people visit the Museums, and their videos and photographs are popular amongst the viewers.
