‘Statue of Unity’ Stature of the Iron Man of India. It will be double the height of ‘Statue of Liberty’ in America and four times that of ‘Christ the Redeemer’ in Rio de Janeiro.” “The 182-meter (597 feet) high Statue of Unity will be built on the Sadhu Bet riverbed of the Narmada about 3-km from the Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) dam, to be reached in boats. The site will be developed as a pilgrims’ centre for preserving the unity and integrity of India, its rich culture and heritage along with development – as a source of inspiration for ages to come. It will have a high-tech museum, chronicling 90 years history of India’s freedom fighters (1857-1947).” Experts from all over the world are invited to do various surveys on how to erect the tallest statue of the world. The monument will built on a Public Private Partnership model, with most of the money to be raised by way of public contribution. A Centre of Excellence and Research on best practices in public administration and agriculture will also be established at the site. The area surrounding the monument will have a viewing gallery and a museum on the life of Patel. Visitors at this statue will be able to get a panoramic view of the picturesque surrounding from a height of almost 600 ft.
