The Statue As Grand As The Stature World’s Tallest Statue:
182 Metres
Dedicated to the Nation by Shri Narendra Modi, Hon’ble Prime Minister
He is known for life-changing decisions for the welfare of the country, be it implementation of demonetisation, unified goods and services taxes or linking Aadhar card to certain personal documents, the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India: Shri Narendra Modi wants to let digital revolution rule all the Indians. The former Chief Minister of Gujarat dreams of a shining India and believes in introducing drastic positive changes in the country. With people’s support from all over the world, he has made India have a better exposure globally. His faith in making dreams come true is tremendous and one of his dreams was to give the Iron Man of India: Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel; the honour that he truly deserves. He honoured Sardar by bringing together all that was closest to him and all that he stood for: the Narmada, the farmers and most importantly the unity of our country. And hence it was only apt that the Prime Minister decided to build the world’s tallest statue of this extremely tall personality who gave us India as we know today.
He started working on this dream project as the Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2013 and upon completion in 2018 as the Prime Minister he inaugurated the world’s tallest statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on his 143rd birth anniversary on the 31st October 2018 at Sardar Sarovar Dam, Kevadiya Village, Narmada, Gujarat.
