Also, there is a proposal to put up cut outs of Netaji, Rabindranath and Swami Vivekananda.
The foundation stone of the building that stands for national integrity and communal peace was laid by Rabindranath Tagore in 1939 in presence of Netaji. Tagore had named the building as Mahajati Sadan. The construction stopped after Netaji left the country. Complications arose and a court case started. It was finally inaugurated by Dr BC Roy, the former chief minister, in 1958.
There is auditorium and rooms for the guests. There is a library and a museum where the paintings of revolutionaries have been put up.
