India’s Tallest Ambedkar Statue

The chief minister previously said that the statue to be inaugurated by him will be India’s tallest statue of Ambedkar. It has been built next to the state secretariat, opposite to Buddha statue, and located beside the Telangana Martyrs Memorial. He said it would inspire people daily and motivate the entire state administration.

He told his ministers and officials that the unveiling ceremony of the Ambedkar statue should be held on a grand scale with the entire Telangana and the country celebrating the occasion in a big manner.

It took at least two years to finalise technical and manufacturing measures after the decision was taken by KCR to erect the Ambedkar statue, PTI reported. The Telangana Chief Minister had praised the sculptor 98-year-old Ram Vanji Sutar for undertaking such a humongous effort.

Arrangements were made to ensure that over 35,000 people from all 119 constituencies of the state attend the Ambedkar statue unveiling, with 300 people expected from each constituency. As many as 750 state-run Road Transport Corporation buses were to be operated to bring the public to the event.
