A photo exhibition celebrating prominent Telugu freedom fighters and the evolution of the Indian National Flag was inaugurated at the Salar Jung Museum on Thursday.
Organised by the Central Bureau of Communication (CBC), under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the event forms part of its Integrated Communication and Outreach Programme.
Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament V. Vijayendra Prasad and University of Hyderabad Vice-Chancellor Prof. B. Jagadeeshwar Rao jointly inaugurated the exhibition, which features around 40 panels on the lives and struggles of unsung heroes such as Turrebaz Khan, Moulvi Allauddin, Kaloji Narayana Rao, Sangam Laxmi Bayamma, Kumram Bheem and Suddala Hanumanthu.
Mr. Prasad described the display as a rare collection that should be widely shared with the younger generation. He emphasised that the Indian flag is a symbol of the nation’s self-respect and pride, and that every citizen should uphold these values.
Mr. Rao noted that such initiatives preserve history and instil patriotism. As part of the event, CBC Hyderabad also held essay and Telugu poetry competitions on patriotic themes, with winners from five city colleges receiving prizes and certificates from the dignitaries.
CBC Additional Director General Shruti Patil said the exhibition is aimed to connect today’s youth with the sacrifices and bravery of their forebears. The exhibition will remain open to the public till August 17, 2025.
