IIT Bombay CPWD Workshop
In cases where we have not found any picture, we will make their features based on the region they hailed from," said Authorities.
IIT Bombay said small models of marchers have been made based on details collected by researchers. They will be sailed up to life-size structures. The main memorial will have two stainless steel arms, 70 meter tall, with a salt crystal at the top. The arms will be lit by solar panels and the pathway will depict the Dandi March route through 24 spaces with visuals, representing the 24 halt points during the journey. While IDC is looking at design and project implementation, the Central Public-Works Department (CPWD) will oversee the construction. The memorial is likely to be ready for inauguration by Aprils', 2015. "You will be presenting Mahatma Gandhi to the world through this memorial. And so it should be a reflection of his thoughts and philosophy," said Justice chairman of the Institute for Gandhian Studies, Ward has inaugurating the workshop.
