Arvind Singh
Mewar
 If
a man is known by his farsightedness, then Arvind Singh Mewar's vision
is set to earn him the rightful place as a befitting successor to the legacy
of Mewar.
Within
the City Palace Complex Udaipur, there is developing the concept of a ‘City
within a City’, spearheaded by Arvind Singh Mewar. This project is witnessing
the development of educational institutions, sports academies, medical,
technical, management and engineering colleges and centres for excellence
in fine arts and performing arts. "I am now concentrating my thoughts on
developing a city within the City of Udaipur, as a model for sustainable
development." (Arvind Singh Mewar). In Udaipur, the endeavour is not to
identify the city with any one particular monument, or any single concept,
however unique it may be. Udaipur is not merely a tourist destination.
It is a living culture that nurtures the essence of the past, yet continually
updates itself with modern elements. “Today we are a living palace complex.
Tomorrow I can see this grow to become a model of self-sufficient and self-reliant,
multifaceted enterprise that is able to generate revenues and meet expectations
of the people of Udaipur as well as foreign and Indian tourists who visit
this historic city and contribute to its growth." Arvind Singh sees
a tremendous synergy in the philanthropic and corporate activities of the
House of Mewar. In this age of commercialism, the 76th custodian of the
House of Mewar is convinced that social welfare is as important as generating
revenues and profits. |
