Kolkata Municipal Corporation declared the house of Sister Nivedita,
16/A Bose Para Lane
as heritage building last year
and was decided to prepare an archive there with the memoirs of
Sister. But the present owner of this house reluctant to sell the
house and said, 16/A is not the house of Sister Nivedita, but she
resided at house no. 16 and hence the project facing setback. We know
that Sister Nivedita established a school for girls at house no. 16
and therefore 16/A also a part of house no. 16 where Sister Nivedita
was resided. At present, condition of house no. 16/A is very grave as
shown in the picture. It is under dilapidation. Therefore, it is high
time to undertake the house and start the works of renovation as done
by the Ramakrishna Mission in the case of Swami Vivekananda's paternal
house in north Kolkata.--
