Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati inaugurated her dream project the Bhim Rao Ambedkar Park in Noida on Friday evening, an extravagant 33-hectare sprawl built at a cost of Rs 685 crore.

The park, that has been at the centre of environmental concerns and loud debate on the money splurged on it, is a memorial to Dalit leaders.

The project was stayed by the Supreme Court in October 2009. The SC bench, chaired by then Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan, had taken into consideration its proximity to the Okhla Bird Sanctuary and the need to protect the green cover. The stay on construction was lifted in December 2010, with the court imposing the condition that “pucca” construction should not exceed 25 per cent of the area. It had also said 50 per cent of land next to Okhla Bird Sanctuary should have tree cover.

“In fact, 75 per cent of the work was complete when the Supreme Court stayed the project. After the order was lifted, the rest of the work only took around 6 months to complete,” Balwinder Kumar, CEO of Noida Authority, has said.

The complex is divided into three sections — Central Park Plaza, Ambedkar Plaza and Column Plaza. The court directive on green cover has also been maintained, officials said.

“A total of 1,52,000 shrubs of 75 different varieties have been planted in the area. In addition, 7,500 trees have been planted,” said Sant Ram Singh, Chief Project Engineer of Noida Authority.

The complex also has 15 statues of Dalit icons such as Ambedkar, Jyotirao Phule and Kanshi Ram. It also has two statues of Mayawati. Ambedkar Plaza is the central structure with a dome. The monolithic contains three statues of Ambedkar, Kanshi Ram and Mayawati. The inside walls of the structure are adorned with sculptures of the leaders, including one of the Constituent Assembly headed by Ambedkar deliberating over the constitution.

The plaza is flanked by 10 stone elephants (each 18-foot high), the electoral symbol of the Bahujan Samaj Party. The elephant symbol is seen across the complex, with several at each entrance to the park and on each of the four fountains.

The complex has been designed by architectural company Design Associates.

The park will also have a dedicated a security force. “Some (personnel) have already been deployed, but more will follow once the park is inaugurated,” Singh had said. The park would be open to public, with an entrance fee. “We have not decided on the fee yet,” he added.
