TOSHAKHANA is Persian word for King's Treasure. Basically Gifts given to King by neighboring State's Businessmen, kings were stored in TOSHAKAHA.
Mohd.Gazanvi was so fiond of his ToshaKhana that on the last day of his life he asked his men to brought him to Toshakhana.
Same way in Modern India same custom prevails.In Modren india every state govts has their own Toshakhana and every CM has to deposit his gift to Toshakhana.
Since 2001 Narendra Modiji received around 5000 gift articles (Pagadis,Swords,Bow & Arrow, Gold & Silver coins etc.). But he auctions that article to help girls education.
Gifts that Help Girls get Educated.
As Narendra Modi travels and attends events, he receives scores of gifts and souvenirs. Each and every gift is deposited with the government treasury (toshakhana), and sold to support the education of the girl child (kanya kelavani.) A special fund Kanya Kelavani Nidhi has been created for this cause.
In the last 41 years, his 13 predecessors had deposited a consolidated total amount of Rs.4.55 lakhs, whereas the present Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi has deposited more than Rs. 287.37 lakhs in a period of 7 years.
People are often so touched by Narendra Modi's commitment for this cause that, instead of felicitating him by gifts or souvenirs, many have started donating cheques for Kanya Kelavani Nidhi. For this benevolent cause, they have voluntarily handed over more than Rs. 11 crores since 2001.
Kanya Kelavani Nidhi has been created with a long term goal that no girl child in Gujarat remains illiterate; and the efforts have started yielding results. In 2006-07, the drop out rate of girl child has decreased to 3.68 from 20.81 in 2000-01. (std 1 to 5) and to 11.64 from 36.30 in 2000-01 (std 1 to 7).
Buy items from Toshakhana, get a piece of history, and contribute to the education of the girl child in a unique way.
