ARAKKA BARRAGE PROJECT

ARAKKA BARRAGE PROJECT

The circular seal of Farakka Barrage Project (FBP) has a profile of a barrage supported by its initials and is placed on an orange, white and green circle. The circle is circumscribed by the motifs of a pair of leaves on a hand; a boat; three fish; a pair of hands shaking; a bus and train and a glowing bulb. These are ensconced by a light orange circular border inscribed with its name in Devanagari and English; ‘Pride of the Nation’ and its motto in Sanskrit ‘अप्सु अन्तः अमृतम्’ (1.23.19, Rig Veda) meaning ‘Ambrosia is in the Waters’. At the bottom, on a banner its slogan ‘Serving the Nation Since 1976’ is written. The motifs represent the benefits, beneficiaries and cooperation among the stakeholders.
