Mukherjee inaugurated a Madhya Pradesh government museum that exhibits the art and culture of the tribes of central India.
He said it is from a clearer understanding of traditional societies and their culture that we can better appreciate the dynamics of our nation's evolution and the greatness of its ancient civilisation.
Mukherjee said that in certain ways and values, the civilisations of the past were much superior.
The President was confident that this one of a kind Tribal Museum would serve as a resource centre for researchers, scholars, students exploring various aspects of tribal culture and daily life.
Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan and Union minister V Narayansamy were also present.
Mukherjee is in Madhya Pradesh on a three-day visit.
