Prez unveils bust of first Indian Governor General at Rashtrapati Bhavan

NEW DELHI: (Feb 23) President Droupadi Murmu on Monday unveiled the bust of Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, the first and only Indian Governor General of independent India, at the Rashtrapati Bhavan here.

The initiative is part of a series of steps being taken towards shedding vestiges of colonial mindset, the President's secretariat said.

Rajagopalachari's bust at the grand open staircase near Ashok Mandap in Rahstrapati Bhavan replaces that of Edwin Lutyens, the main architect of several structures in New Delhi.
