                Freedom Struggle: Gathering information

                        about the anonymous heroes and


                                          creation of DDRs


             It is an attempt to remember
                 the unsung heroes of our
                  freedom movement and
                to make the youth aware.
               These are the heroes who,
            despite their sacrifices in the
           freedom movement, remained
                    anonymous to today's
           generation. The Digital District
          Repository (DDR) is an effort to
           find and document the stories
                of people and places who
            witnessed and contributed to
                     the freedom struggle.
