Shri Naqvi said in New Delhi today that this splendid "Amrit Sarovar" has been constructed at Patwai, Rampur (UP) under the inspiration of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and guidance of Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Shri Yogi Adityanath.

Shri Naqvi said that participation and cooperation of the common people, villagers and promptness of Gram Panchayat and the district administration has played important role in opening of this grand "Amrit Sarovar" in a very short time.

Shri Naqvi said that in "Mann Ki Baat" programme last month, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had mentioned about this "Amrit Sarovar" in Patwai, Rampur. Prime Minister Shri Modi, in "Mann Ki Baat" had said, “I like to learn that after taking the resolve of Amrit Sarovar, work has started on it at many places at a rapid pace. I have come to know about Gram Panchayat Patwai of Rampur in UP. There was a pond on the land of the Gram Sabha, but it was full of filth and heaps of garbage. With a lot of hard work, with the help of local people, with the help of local school children, that dirty pond has been transformed in the last few weeks. Now, many arrangements have been made on the banks of that lake like retaining wall, boundary wall, food court, fountains and lighting. I congratulate the Patwai Gram Panchayat of Rampur, the people of the village, the children there for this effort.”

Shri Naqvi said that this "Amrit Sarovar" of Patwai will not only help in protecting the environment, conserving water, it will also be an attraction for the people of nearby areas. Along with various entertainment facilities, boating is also available in this "Amrit Sarovar".
