Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday hailed the various development projects in India and said that the country will grab the world's attention on the birth anniversary of Sardar Patel this year.
"We celebrate Sardar Patel's birth anniversary every year, but this time we will grab the attention of the entire world. In Gujarat, Sardar sahab's statue — the tallest in the world is being built," said Modi addressing to Indian diaspora.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate a statue of Sardar Patel, described by the Gujarat government as the world's tallest, on the birth anniversary of India's first home minister on October 31.
Erected on the banks of the River Narmada in Gujarat, the structure is twice the height of the Statue of Liberty in the US. On Sunday, Modi had said that October 31 will be special as the statue of unity will be dedicated to the nation as a 'true tribute' to Sardar Patel.
Modi also told the Indian community that the world is appreciating India for its services towards humanity. "The policies being made in India, the work being done towards public welfare, for these the nation is being felicitated today," he said.
Meanwhile, Modi asked Japanese businessmen to engage more with India as he interacted with top business leaders from the two countries at a forum here.
Modi said that the inputs offered at the Business Leaders Forum will propel India to achieve global benchmarking.
"He urged Japanese businessmen to engage more with India," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar tweeted.
