Sardar Patel - The architect of modern United India

Ahmedabad, Thursday: Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Rashtriya Ekta
Trust (SVPRET) today considered connecting Vadodara with the
proposed Statue of Unity to be built on the Narmada near the Sardar
Sarovar Project (SSP) dam site with a Metro Rail and six-lane
highway.
The SVPRET expects one lakh tourists per day to the ambitious
project and hence the Metro and Highway projects. Other features of
the project, besides the 182-metre high statue of Sardar Patel,
touted to be world’s highest, include a bridge from Kevadia Colony
to the statue, convention centre, memorial garden, amusement park
and a hotel.
The meeting presided over by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi
decided to handover project management and construction management
of the ambitious project, estimated to cost Rs.2,500-crore, to a
world-class consultant. Six important studies, including total
survey of the project, variation in water level and high flood
level, wind and water velocity, seismic survey and model study and
mathematical analysis of Pune have been completed, while that on
environment effects is on progress.
Meanwhile, work order has been placed for constructing Garudeshwar
weir on the Narmada river downstream Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP)
dam. In another, it has been decided to develop both the banks of
Narmada river and also the Bhadbhut Canal from the SSP dam site to
Bharuch up to the seacoast.
The trust resolved to fulfill the dream of iron man Sardar Patel
and complete the SSP project, with Chief Minister Narendra Modi
having taken the height of the dam to the crucial height of
121.92-metres to generate 1,950 MW of electricity and the world’s
longest 458 km canal during the last ten years.
The meeting took note of the Chief Minister’s dynamism to take
forward 2.200-km canal-based drinking water pipeline, besides
Narmada branch, minor and sub-minor distribution canals. His latest
initiative to build solar power project on the canal as a unique
concept.
Prominent among those present at the meeting included Revenue
Minister Anandiben Patel, Urban Development and Water Resources
Minister Nitin Patel, Chief Minister’s Adviser B. N. Navlawala,
Chief Secretary A.K. Joti, Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited
Managing Director S. Jagdeesan and others.
