Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the first series of 11 volumes of 'Collected Works of Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya' on the occasion of the noted freedom fighter and educationist's 162nd birth anniversary on Monday.

An official statement said that in Amrit Kaal, it has been the prime minister's vision to bestow fitting recognition on freedom fighters who have contributed immensely to the nation. The 'Collected Works of Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya' is an endeavour in this direction, it said.

The 11-volume bilingual (English and Hindi) work comprising 4,000 pages is a collection of Malaviya's writings and speeches collected from every nook and corner of the country, it said.

These volumes comprise his unpublished letters, articles and speeches, including memorandums, the editorial content of the Hindi weekly 'Abhyudaya' started by him in 1907, articles, pamphlets and booklets written by him from time to time and all speeches given in the Legislative Council of the United Provinces of Agra and Awadh between 1903 and 1910.

They also include his statements given before the Royal Commission, speeches given during the presentation of bills in the Imperial Legislative Council between 1910 and 1920, letters, articles and speeches written before and after the establishment of Banaras Hindu University, and a diary written by him between 1923 and 1925, the statement said.

The work of researching and compiling the documents written and spoken by Malaviya was undertaken by the Mahamana Malaviya Mission, an institution devoted to propagating his ideas.

A dedicated team, led by veteran journalist Ram Bahadur Rai, has worked on Malaviya's original literature without altering the language and text. The publication of these books has been done by the Publications Division under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the statement said.
