Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Art & Culture
The 8th edition of the Prime Minister’s Memorables e-auction, featuring 27 artefacts from Uttarakhand, highlights the state’s spiritual legacy, folk traditions and regional identity. These memorabilia—framed artworks, temple models, photo prints and handicrafts—reflect the deep bond between faith, art and culture. The proceeds will support the Namami Ganga programme, underscoring the government’s commitment to heritage conservation and river rejuvenation. Key exhibits include models of Kedarnath Dham, Omkareshwar Temple and Ganga Ji Temple at Mukhba, alongside prints of the Char Dham circuit and local art forms like Aipan, linking tangible culture with intangible traditions.
For banking, SSC and RBI Grade B aspirants, this event offers insights into public-private partnerships in cultural preservation, digital governance through e-auctions and the role of CSR in national programmes like Namami Ganga. Questions may test knowledge of government initiatives, digital platforms for public services and the economic valuation of cultural assets—key themes in both prelims and descriptive papers.
