Widening the ambit of “Waste to Wealth” concept, the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) will develop ambitious project “Bharat Darshan Park” in Punjabi Bagh in which replicas of prominent monuments spread across the country will be installed.
Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri laid foundation stone of SDMC’s ambitious project on Friday. All these replicas will be made with municipal waste and scrap.
Praising the move, Puri said that it is a matter of great appreciation that SDMC has taken lead and developing such landmark sites. He also urged other civic agencies to follow such kind of initiatives based on waste to wealth concept.
Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal said the civic body has brought a sea change in transforming the look of the city by developing splendid parks like Waste to Wonder Park, Nandan Van, Jamunwala Park, Woodland Amusement Park and other beautiful parks made over lands of Delhi Development Authority and Gram Sabha.
“Such park is the shining example of waste to wealth concept and with development of Bharat Darshan Park, SDMC will move forward in the direction of earning wealth from waste,” he added.
The theme of the park is “Unity in Diversity” displayed through iconic monuments of the country, said SDMC Commissioner Gyanesh Bharti, adding that this park will be developed on six acre plot.
“Replicas of famous monuments such as Char Minar, Gateway of India, Konark Temple, Nalanda Monuments, Mysore Palace, Golden Temple, Minakshi Temple, Hawa Mahal, Hampi, Victoria Memorial, Sanchi Stupa, Gol Gumaz, Ajanta Alora Caves, Junagarh Fort etc will be installed in the park,” Bharti said.
