STATUE OF UNITY
Narmada that the enormity of the creation hits home. The 182 metre tall Statue of Unity-twice the size of the Statue of Liberty-will be the world's tallest statue once it's ready, a sheer marvel of engineering being pieced together by an army of over 3,000 workers, including 300 engineers from infrastructure major Larsen & Toubro (L&T). The statue is to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 31 to coincide with the 143rd birth anniversary of Sardar Patel.
SARDAAR VALLABH BHAI PATEL
Known as the ‘Ironman’ of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was instrumental in India’s independence struggle, and then for the integration of over 500 princely states into the Union of India.
Kutch to Kohima, Kargil, or Kanyakumari - if we can travel freely today across the beautiful and bountiful lands of India, it is because of Sardar Patel.
1st Deputy Prime Minister of India
15 August 1947 – 15 December 1950
