The national emblem Ashoka Pillar, which was unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the roof of the new Parliament House on Tuesday morning, has been made in Jaipur. It took five months to build it and two months to put it on the roof of the new Parliament building. Behind its construction is the hard work of Laxman Vyas of Jaipur, his son Gautam Vyas and a strong team of artisans.
Ashoka Pillar has been manufactured in Laxman Vyas’s factory in Bindayka Industrial Area, Jaipur. Talking to Amar Ujala, Laxman Vyas told that the work of the new Parliament building was given to the Tata company. It was the intention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the entire work of the national emblem Ashoka Pillar should be done under Make in India. After this, the executives of the Tata group started looking for someone who could make it in India. His search ended after coming to me in Jaipur.
