Dharohar: SEBI Launches This Rich Historical Digital Resource, How To Access- Details
This launch serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical data to create better awareness about the securities market.

On the occasion of 76th Republic Day, SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) launched Dharohar - Milestones in the Indian Securities Market, a digital knowledge repository aimed at preserving and sharing the rich history of India's securities market. This platform will be a valuable resource for a wide audience, including students, investors, researchers, journalists, and market participants.
Dharohar houses over 3000 assets, such as articles, interviews with key personalities, historical share certificates, committee reports, videos, and more. The repository features a user-friendly website with an interactive timeline of significant events and immersive 3D galleries, offering an engaging experience for visitors.
Dharohar: Accessing the Repository
Dharohar can be accessed online at www.mism.org. It is continuously updated, ensuring that the history and growth of India's securities market are well-documented for future generations.
Dharohar: Engagement Through Technology
The 3D galleries provide a virtual experience across eight exhibits. Four of them showcase the evolution of market segments, while the others focus on personalities, scripophily (historical share certificates), market highlights, and interactive quizzes. This makes it easier for users to understand the growth of the Indian securities market in an engaging and educational way.
Dharohar: Logo and Design Inspiration
The logo of Dharohar is inspired by the geometric simplicity of ancient scripts like Egyptian hieroglyphs, symbolizing the building blocks of the market's growth over time. The isometric design reflects the milestones and development of the securities market.
SEBI's Role in the Market
SEBI was established in 1992 as a statutory body with the goal of protecting investors' interests and promoting the development and regulation of India's securities market. Since its inception, SEBI has played a critical role in shaping the financial landscape of the country.
SEBI thanks the many individuals and institutions that contributed to Dharohar, including advisory committee members, past SEBI chairmen, former employees, industry leaders, and more. This initiative is part of SEBI's commitment to raising awareness and promoting understanding of the securities market.
This launch serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical data to create better awareness about the securities market, strengthening its future growth.
