Gujarat to build world's tallest 'Statue of Unity' in 4 years

At a cost of Rs 2,000 crore, the Gujarat government is to construct a 182 metre tall stature of Sardar Patel in Kevadia Colony in Navagam, facing the Narmada Dam in the state. It is to be named as 'Statue of Unity.' Construction on the world's tallest statue is expected to commence in the beginning of 2014. When it completes in four years, the statue would surpass the famous Statue of Liberty in the US in terms of height.

Global tender for building the structure is expected to be floated by the end of July. All the clearances like those from the Union Environment Ministry and from Civil Aviation Ministry have been taken.

The government was not averse to seeking financial support from the public for the project as this would lead to maximum involvement of the masses in the project. Sources said that the statue will have a lift inside the structure that will take people to a height of about 150 metres to provide them with a breathtaking view of the Narmada dam.
