Bill Gates visited Gujarat’s Statue of Unity. When are you planning your trip?

Although the Instagram posts portray Gates engaging in typical tourist activities, his visit was anything but ordinary. Gates was extended a personal invitation by Prime Minister Modi himself, a fact he graciously acknowledged in his Instagram post, saying, "Thank you @narendramodi for the invitation to visit the impressive Statue of Unity. It is an engineering marvel and a great tribute to Sardar Patel." Gates also took note of the statue's positive impact, recognizing its role in creating economic opportunities for local tribal communities, especially women

Prime Minister Modi responded to Gates' expressions of gratitude with enthusiasm, expressing joy at his visit and encouraging people from all corners of the globe to witness the grandeur of the Statue of Unity. Gates, deeply moved by the experience, poured his sentiments into the visitor's diary, commending the engineering prowess, the sheer beauty of the structure, and the meaningful homage it pays to Sardar Patel.

Deeply inspired by the profound impact of his visit, Gates went a step further, sharing a follow-up video on social media. Set to the lively soundtrack of Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now," the video serves as a vibrant visual narrative, encapsulating the grandeur, magnificence, and cultural significance of the Statue of Unity, a monumental tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
