Prerna Park: A Source of Inspiration

Prerna Park has been developed by the Prayagraj Municipal Corporation near Kali Ghat on the banks of the Yamuna for Rs 1 crore.

Prayagraj Mayor Umesh Chandra Ganesh Kesarwani said the park has been constructed with the aim of conveying the life values and ideas of Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Ashok Singhal, who are regarded as sources of inspiration for national service, cultural nationalism, social harmony and public welfare, to future generations. The park includes gardens, lighting, pathways, seating arrangements, beautification works and sanitation facilities around the statues.

The Chief Minister's visit also comes as the state government is undertaking works to give a new look to the ghats of the Ganga and Yamuna in Prayagraj.

Besides inaugurating Prerna Park and unveiling the statues, the Chief Minister's programme includes flagging off the Ekta Boat Race, addressing a public meeting and reviewing development works in the Prayagraj Zone.
