Overview or Purpose

Varanasi Development Authority has embarked on a significant project involving the installation of a 63-foot-high statue, construction of an amphitheater, and the establishment of a Vedic park, among other infrastructural developments. These initiatives are undertaken in commemoration of the centenary year of Pandit Deendayal ji, a distinguished philosopher, economist, and political luminary renowned for his contributions to India's socio-economic fabric. Pandit Deendayal ji, born on 25th September 1916, remains an enduring figure whose philosophy of Integral Humanism advocated for the comprehensive upliftment of all sections of society, emphasizing spiritual, cultural, and socio-economic development. The inauguration of this ambitious undertaking transpired on 16th February 2020, graced by the esteemed presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. His involvement underscores the project's profound significance and its alignment with the overarching vision for Varanasi's holistic development and cultural preservation. Completed at a cost of Rs. 42.01 crore, the project epitomizes Varanasi Development Authority's steadfast commitment to enhancing the city's infrastructure and cultural heritage. The inclusion of a towering statue, alongside amenities such as the amphitheater and Vedic park, augments Varanasi's allure for both residents and visitors. This amalgamation of cultural reverence with modern amenities not only pays homage to Pandit Deendayal ji's legacy but also elevates Varanasi's status as a cultural epicenter and a bastion of spiritual and intellectual pursuits.
