The Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini has undertaken a project to digitalise former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's speeches, articles and interviews for reaching out to the "new generation."

Titled "Samagra Atalji," the project would be formally launched in New Delhi on June 8. Former President of India A P J Abdul Kalam is expected to be the Chief Guest at the function that will be presided over by senior BJP leader L K Advani.

Addressing a press conference in Mumbai, Vinay Sahasrabudhe, director of the Prabodhini, which is affiliated to the BJP, said the main aim of the project was to preserve Vajpayee's thoughts in digital format.

A generation of youths was influenced by the veteran leader's oratory and ideology, he said adding that "we want the legacy to be passed on to the new generation, which is why we decided to digitalise Atalji's speeches, interviews, articles, poems."

The Prabodhini has already procured the former Prime Minister's speeches in Parliament.

Sahasrabudhe also urged the people in possession of any video, audio or print clippings of the leader's works to be made available for the project.

"The original copy will be returned to them and they would be felicitated," he said.

The audio and video format is slated to be completed by December 2011 and the written format in December 2012.

NDA convenor Sharad Yadav, BJP president Nitin Gadkari, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj, her counterpart in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley will also be present on the occasion of the launch.
