Gujarat has one of the most revered spiritual destinations in India. The temples of Ambaji, Somnath,
Dwarka, Palitana, Girnar, and Dakor attract pilgrims from India and abroad. Religious tourist accounts for
more than one third of the tourist foot falls in the State.
The Santnagari Project was conceptualized as a mega interpretation center for the life and living of the great
saints of India. Santnagari shall exhibit the teachings of the Saints across time, layers of history, religion
and region, forming a project of international peace, harmony and enlightenment. The underlying vision of
Santnagari is to create an opportunity and forum to expose people to the life and lessons of the great saints
of India.
Eventually this will act as a physical model of enlightenment as well as guide for basic ethics of life to
Indians as well as foreigners.
PROJECT COST
Project cost of the proposed development project would be around Rs. 157.61 crores.
Water: During construction phase approx 100 KLD water will be utilized for the domestic purpose and for
construction activities. This will be sourced from Dharoi dam near the project site. During Operational
Phase water requirement is assumed on the basis of visitors to be visited the Santnagari i.e. Peak traffic
season, Average traffic season and minimum traffic season so water requirement according to these seasons
will be around 3,170 KLD, 536 KLD and 245 KLD respectively for Domestic purpose only, this will be
sourced from Dharoi dam.
Electrical Energy: During Operational Phase total power requirement will be 25MW (Multiple of 500 to
750 KVA in different location). Power supply shall be met from Uttar Gujarat Vij Company Limited
(UGVCL). In case of power failure, and D. G. Set 3 MW, 250 KVA and 500 KVA will be provided.
During Operational Phase domestic waste water will be generated, which is assumed on the basis of
persons/saints to be visited the Santnagari i.e. Peak traffic season, Average traffic season and minimum
traffic season so waste water generation will be around 2,536 KLD, 429 KLD and 196 KLD which will be
treated in STP and reused for gardening and flushing purpose.
The proposed tourism development project will be established by Gujarat Pavitra Yatradham Vikas
Board (GPYVB). They are the custodian of the religious tourism in the State. They undertake planning,
maintenance & development related works. This Board was constituted in the year 1995. This Board was
associated with Gujarat Tourism Corporation Ltd. initially and became independent from the year 1999.

2.6 AVAILABILITY OF WATER AND ITS SOURCE & POWER REQUIREMENT AND ITS
SOURCE
2.6.1 WATER REQUIREMENT AND ITS SOURCE
Dharoi dam will be the main source of water supply for construction and operation. During construction
phase 100 KLD water will be required. Operational Phase water requirement is assumed on the basis of
visitors to be visited the Santnagari i.e. Peak traffic season, Average traffic season and minimum traffic
season. So water requirement according to these seasons will be around 3,170 KLD, 536 KLD and 245
KLD respectively for domestic purpose only.
During Operational Phase total power requirement will be 25MW (Multiple of 500 to 750 KVA in different
location). Power supply shall be met from Uttar Gujarat Vij Company Limited (UGVCL). In case of power
failure, D. G. Set 3 MW, 250 KVA and 500 KVA of D. G. Set will be provided.
During Operational Phase domestic waste water shall be generated, which is assumed on the basis of
visitors to be visited the Santnagari i.e. Peak traffic season, Average traffic season and minimum traffic
season so waste water generation will be around 2,536 KLD, 429 KLD and 196 KLD which will be treated
in STP and reused for gardening and flushing purpose. Solid waste collection, segregation and disposal
system will be developed and followed.
