Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi while launching ‘Swarnim Gujarat Mahotsav’ at Nagpur on Friday, reaffirms that Sardar Patel’s tallest staute – ‘Statue of Unity’, to be built near Sardar Sarovar dam, will take shape with the contribution of people.

Swarnim Gujarat Mahotsav is arranged by Gujarati Samaj in Nagpur. The three-day celebration will see a participation from Gujarati Samaj of various parts of Vidarbh-Maharashtra.

Chief Minister, speaking both in Marathi and Gujarati, said that Gujarat birthed with the separation of bilingual Mumbai state and was a vulnerable entity at the time of its formation, but just in fifty years of time it is scaling new heights of growth. Once a barren land, the state is taking lead in agriculture and provides uninterrupted power supply to all its villages, he said.

He said that Gujarat is seeing all the three colors of tricolor on its land, as it begun with white revolution through milk sector, a green revolution through strides in agriculture sector and is geared up to bring saffron revolution with use of solar energy in power production.

Families of Gujarati Samaj in Vidarbha-Nagpur were present on the occasion.

The 213 km long six-lane access-controlled Delhi-Dehradun Economic Corridor has been developed at a cost of over ₹12,000 crore. The corridor traverses through the states of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, and will reduce travel time between Delhi and Dehradun from over six hours at present to around two and a half hours.

The corridor is equipped with an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) to provide a safer and more efficient travel experience for commuters.

Keeping in view the ecological sensitivity, rich biodiversity and wildlife in the region, the corridor has been designed with several features aimed at significantly reducing man-animal conflict. To ensure the free movement of wild animals, the project incorporates several dedicated wildlife protection features. These include a 12 km long wildlife elevated corridor, which is one of the longest in Asia. The corridor also includes eight animal passes, two elephant underpasses of 200 metres each, and a 370 metre long tunnel near the Daat Kali temple.

The Delhi-Dehradun Economic Corridor will play a pivotal role in strengthening regional economic growth by enhancing connectivity between major tourism and economic centres as well as opening new avenues for trade and development across the region. The project reflects the vision of the Prime Minister to develop next-generation infrastructure that combines high-speed connectivity with environmental sustainability and improved quality of life for citizens.
