<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday inaugurated the Samrat Samprati Museum at Koba Tirth in the Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra campus in Gujarat’s Gandhinagar on the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti. Named after Samrat Samprati, the grandson of Emperor Ashoka, the museum presents the historical, cultural and spiritual legacy of Jainism.Referring to the current global situation, PM Modi said the museum\u2019s legacy and message were important not only for India but for the entire world.“We are correcting the mistakes of previous governments, which failed to preserve valuable manuscripts,” he said after inaugurating the museum.“Given the current global scenario – the way the world is being scorched in the fires of instability and unrest – the legacy and message of this museum hold immense significance,” he added.The prime minister further said that the museum reflected India\u2019s diversity, bringing together traditions like the Vedas, Puranas, Ayurveda and Yoga. \u201cThis is something that could happen only in India,\u201d he said, pointing to the seven galleries that showcase cultural and spiritual heritage.Speaking about preservation of knowledge, PM Modi said India lost a large part of its heritage when centres like Takshashila and Nalanda were destroyed and manuscripts were burnt. He said people later protected what remained by passing them down through generations.The prime minister also inaugurated a Rs 3,300 crore semiconductor plant by Kaynes Technology at Sanand GIDC in Ahmedabad.The facility is the second such plant in the country and is being seen as an important step in India\u2019s semiconductor sector. It is part of the government\u2019s semiconductor mission and is expected to support its expansion.The development follows earlier steps in the sector. Gujarat\u2019s Science and Technology minister Arjun Modhwadia said on Monday that the project marks India\u2019s entry into a new technological phase. \u201cWith this second unit, we are entering the era of this futuristic industry,\u201d he said.In February, PM Modi had also inaugurated a semiconductor plant by Micron Technology, as part of efforts to build domestic capacity in chip manufacturing.<\/div>\n
