                 As  one  enters  the  Parliament  House  Estate  from
              Sansad  Marg  side,  one  can  see  in  the  lawns  on  the  left,
              a  majestic  bronze  statue  of  Pandit  Motilal  Nehru,  3.75
               metres  in  height,  standing  on  a  sand-stone  pedestal
              about  4.36  metres  high.
                 The  statue  was  sculptured  by  D.  P.  Roychow-
              dhury  and  donated  by  the  Motilal  Nehru  Centenary
               Committee.
                 It  was  unveiled  by  Dr.  S.  Radhakrishnan,  President
              of  India,  on  the  6th  May,  1963.
