The Statue of Unity project said: “As a memorial to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the statue will not only remind every individual of our great nation's freedom struggle but will also inspire the people of our country to inculcate Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's visionary ideologies of unity, patriotism, inclusive growth and good governance. The imposing monument, named as the 'Statue of Unity' and built on an islet Sadhu Bet near Sardar Sarovar Dam in Gujarat's Narmada district, is much higher than even the Statue of Liberty in the US.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Statue of Unity, which depicts the first Deputy Prime Minister of India and winner of the highest civilian award of the Republic of India, the Bharat Ratna, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, becomes the world's largest statue. The statue is located near the Narmada Dam in the Indian state of Gujarat.
