Foundation
This project was the brainchild of Veteran Sangh Pracharak Shri Sohan Singh, who aspired Maharana Pratap to become the icon for the youth of the country. To materialise his vision, the Veer Shiromani Maharana Pratap Samiti was formed in 2002 with Prof. K. S. Gupta as its founder President. [ref] Later, 25 bigha of land was purchased for the project in 2007.
The first phase of the project was inaugurated by RSS Sarsangchalak Mohan ji Bhagwat on 28 November 2016. The then Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje & Rajasthan Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria were present on the occasion. [ref]
