[3][4] Bhagwan Birsa Munda's revolutionary call 'Abua Dishum, Abua Raj' (our state, our rule) was a source of inspiration and motivation for millions of tribal people who hailed from the land of Jharkhand and were a part of the Indian Freedom Struggle.
The 150 ft tall and grand ‘Statue of Ulgulan’ is being built in the spirit to respect the fervour of Bhagwan Birsa Munda and as a tribute to his contribution towards the battle that was fought centuries ago against the Britishers and the idea of establishing the same was done on 15 November 2016 (his birthday) in Ulihatu (his birthplace) and the Bhumi Poojan was commenced on 9 June 2017.
The construction of the towering 150 feet tall monument shall be taken forth by the contribution of the people of Jharkhand and not just by any single entity or individual.
[7] The idea behind establishing ‘The Statue of Ulgulan’ is not only to kindle a sense of patriotism amongst the locals but also to exhibit the glory and laurels of Jharkhand and Bhagwan Birsa Munda worldwide.
The foundation believes that this statue will become a key tourist spot in the forthcoming years, and will also invite scholars and researchers to study on Bhagwan Birsa Munda.
