India has, in the last few years been obsessed with statues.

Be it the Statue of Unity in Gujarat, the Chhatrapati Shivaji statue in Maharashtra or the soon to be built Cauvery statue in Karnataka and the Ram statue in Uttar Pradesh, our politicians have found hundreds of crores to spend on these supposed 'tourist attractions'.

These statues (even the ones to be built) have a combined cost of ₹8119 crore. 

Let's think about it for a while and see what other things could be done with that amount of money.

1. Build 16,23,800 school sanitary complexes all over the country.

5. Give the salaries of 78,82,524 contractual teachers in government schools. The government could also increase their basic pay of ₹10,300 per month.

Mind you, these estimations, are done by a mere layman who doesn't claim economic expertise. That being said, ₹8119 crore is a huge amount of money that can easily be diverted to actual problems faced by the 1.3 billion people who live here.

It makes sense, my view is with increasing tourism other initiatives will be sourced through this. 

Just take a vague guess, here we have n no. Of places which are of tourism based and most of them are high prices for statues, nature based locations ( GC, Mountains, Lakes, Rivers, YS parks..etc many) all are national parks and have entry fee just to click photos. We don’t have any in India even though we have locations which can be revamped, tourism is not planned, its maintainable and one time investment for long run. May not be pleasing for you or next gen. Definitely after 1decade, that will start attracting people around world.

Obvisouly other issues listed in post such as potholes, pollution, education, sanitary etc are also most important for people.

Swach Bharath drive did clean up to some extent it’s people who have to follow to keep city surroundings clean.
