Yogi Adityanath says tallest statue of Lord Ram to be installed in Ayodhya; structure to reach 251 metres

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said the tallest statue of Lord Shri Ram would be installed in Ayodhya on a 100-acre site. Chairing a meeting of senior officials, Adityanath said, “A complete plan should be prepared to install the 251-metre tall statue of Lord Shri Ram in the holy city.” [caption id=“attachment_5613471” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![File image of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath.

There should be arrangements for basic tourist facilities along with the digital museum, interpretation centre, library, parking, food plaza, landscaping based on the theme of Lord Shri Ram,” Adityanath said, in a statement issued by the UP government. It was also decided that trust under the chairmanship of the chief minister will be constituted. For setting up the world’s tallest statue, an MoU will be signed with the Gujarat government for technical assistance. A separate unit of State Manufacturing Corporation will be set up for the purpose of this project, structure, bidding operation and construction work. For the site survey of the project, environmental assessment and feasibility study, assistance will be sought from IIT Kanpur and Nagpur-based NEERI (National Environmental Engineering Research Institute), a constituent laboratory of CSIR. The 251-metre Lord Ram statue will be the world’s tallest. The Statue of Liberty in New York is 93 metres, Dr BR Ambedkar’s statue in Mumbai is 137.2 metres, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s tribute in Gujarat is 183 meters, Gautam Buddha’s statue in China is 208 meters and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s statue in Mumbai is 212 meters. In another meeting, Adityanath asked the officials to prepare for a fast-approaching digital revolution. After going through the UP Data Centre Policy-2019 by the Department of Information Technology and Electronics at Lok Bhawan here, Adityanath said, “Data storage will be extremely necessary for future, and in this situation establishment of data centres in the state becomes a necessity.” He stressed the security of data. The chief minister asked the officials to discuss the policy with officials of the Government of India. “Also put it in public domain seeking suggestions from the people,” Adityanath said, in a statement. Additional Chief Secretary, IT and Electronics, Alok Sinha said, “With the increasing usage of internet and IT, data usage in the future will also register a hike. For this, data centres should be established in the state. The establishment of data centres is likely to generate jobs on a large scale.” During the presentation, the UP chief minister was told there are 30 crore data users (for various social media platform) in India, of which around 3.5 crores are from UP, the statement said
