This unique museum is set to be India's first dedicated to glass, charting its historical evolution. It will feature interactive elements like an AR-VR zone and live demonstrations.
Further developments include a Cultural Centre in Mainpuri, designed to highlight the district's rich history and art forms, and the Arya Gurukul Museum, which will use digital tools to present the Arya Samaj's legacy. Infrastructure upgrades are also planned for the Samor Baba Temple complex to accommodate more visitors.
