How Sardars Patels statute of unity and NaMo plea to donate iron will drain forex NaMo has asked people to donate iron to make Sardar Patel unity statue. Iron costs Rs 30 per kg or so. The whole drive of setting up 200+ collection centers across Gujarat, putting staff there, giving receipts to the iron donors, and then transporting the iron to site will make iron cost ten times more. So why collect iron like this? Well, the goal to collect iron is create emotional bonding between donor and statute that will come up and so increase number of visitors. Each person who has donated iron is now more likely to visit the statue. All this would have been good, but each time someone visits the Sardar Patel statue, the profit of the foreign company which is making the statue and run tourism there will increase. And so forex commitment on India will increase !! It will be quite sad day for us Swadeshi, that when the statue comes up, we will have to urge people NOT to visit that statue as it increases the forex burden on India !!!
