The winning logo and motto of the IHRC were designed by Shaurya Pratap Singh of Delhi.
The logo shape resembles the lotus petals, representing the resilient nodal institution for maintaining historical records, said the Press Information Bureau (PIB) in a statement. The Sarnath pillar in the middle of the logo is reminiscent of India’s ancient past, while the brown colour theme emphasises the IHRC’s mission of preserving, studying, and honouring India’s historical records, it added.
The motto of the IHRC is ‘Where history is preserved for the future’. The motto emphasises the IHRC’s role in identifying, collecting, cataloging, and maintaining historical documents, manuscripts, and other sources of historical information.
The Indian Historical Records Commission (IHRC) plays a significant role in preserving and making available historical documents for future generations. The Commission’s efforts are aimed at ensuring that India’s rich cultural heritage is accessible to present and future generations.
