Awesome
park.
Lighting
effect
are
great.
This
little
park
is
adorned
with
nicely
maintained
lush
lawns,
beautiful
flowers
and
attractive
fountains.
The
park
has
been
named
in
the
memory
of
JRD
Tata's
eldest
son,
Sir
Dorabji
Tata,
and
is
famous
for
hosting
an
annual
flower
show
in
the
month
of
December.
Situated
in
Jamshedpur's
Northern
Town
area,
the
park
makes
for
a
great
picnic
spot,
where
tourists
can
soak
in
tranquility.
Located
right
opposite
the
famous
Keenan
Stadium,
the
park
is
also
a
hub
for
street-food
lovers.
Every
evening,
numerous
food
stalls
are
set
up
outside
the
park
that
offer
lip-smacking
delicacies.
The
park
also
houses
an
open-air
gymnasium,
which
is
flocked
by
locals
during
the
wee
hours
of
the
morning.
The
imposing
statue
of
Sir
Dorabji
Tata
adds
to
the
beauty
of
the
park.
Visitors
can
now
experience,
the
amphitheater
within
the
Diamond
Pavilion
for
a
moment
of
reflection
and
quiet.
The
central
space
is
for
the
visitors
to
feel
the
magnificence
of
the
diamond
from
within
and
not
just
as
a
showpiece
seen
from
afar.
This
park
was
created
to
commemorate
the
contribution
of
Sir
Dorabji
Tata
to
the
country,
the
city
of Jamshedpur.
It
was
designed
as
a
vibrant
recreational
space
for
the
citizens
of
Jamshedpur.
Originally,
when
we
used
to
visit
it
the
park
had
two
rose
gardens,
three
fountains,
and
a
life-size
statue
of
Sir
Tata.
The
“Jhalmuri
wala”
used
to
come
and
ask
every
parent
sitting
near
the
fountain,
enjoying
every
bit
of
the
view.
What
a
nostalgic
evening
we
have
spent
there.
After
25
years,
the
park
was
re-envisioned
rewinding
all
our
memories
from
the
past
25
years.
“During
the
up-gradation
of
Modi
park,
I
used
to
think
that
how
will
the
new
one
will
look?
Will
it
still
have
the
childhood
touch?
But
on
the
inauguration
day,
we
encountered
the
newest
version
of
our “Modi
Park”.
A
statue
of Lady
Meherbai
Tata,
wife
of
Sir
Tata,
has
been
added,
along
with
a
spectacular
steel
tubular
structure
and
pavilion
to
capture
the
legacy
of
the
famous
Jubilee
Diamond.
Let
me
tell
you
a
short
story
behind
this
new
transformation. Sir
Dorabji
Tata,
was
the
elder
son
of
Tata
Group
founder Jamsetji
Nusserwanji
Tata and Herabai
Tata.
Sir
Dorabji
Tata
believed
that
wealth
must
be
put
to
constructive
use.
In
November
1924,
he
pledged
his
own
and
his
wife’s
fortunes,
which
included
the
famous
Jubilee
Diamond,
to
keep
the
steel
venture
afloat
when
it
slipped
into
financial
trouble
and
there
was
no
money
to
even
pay
the
wages
of
employees.
Less
than
a
year
after
his
wife
Lady
Meherbai
Tata’s
demise,
Sir
Tata
bequeathed
most
of
his
wealth
comprising
substantial
shareholdings
in
various
Tata
enterprises,
landed
property,
and
his
wife’s
jewelry
to
the
Sir
Dorabji
Tata
Trust,
the
largest
philanthropic
entity
in
India.
The
resplendent
“Diamond”
Structure
and
Pavilion
capturing
the
legacy
of
the
famous “Jubilee
Diamond” is
enabled
by
Tata
Structure.
