1. Statue of Unity



In an honour to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India's first deputy prime minister 'Statue of Unity' is under planning and will stand at 597ft when completed in 42 months.

 

It will be created directly facing the Narmada Dam, 3.2 km away on the river island called Sadhu Bet of Narmada river, near Bharuch in Gujarat and will be connected to an amusement park and a garden in Sardar Patel's honour by a bridge
