Formation of Parnasree Palli
In 1941 as war preparation began in India for Japanese invasion, a land locally known as Halder Bagan was acquired by the then government for building an air strip. One "Anti Air Craft" Gun was also installed there. After war was over this land was taken over by central Govt and handed over partly to Calcutta Port Trust and partly to local government. After Independence Dr. B.C.Roy (Bidhan Chandra Roy - the first Chief Minister of West Bengal) ordered Land and Land Revenue to disburse the land usefully by the side of present Taratola Road there was a low marshy land which was filled by a company who were entrusted to fill Salt Lake later. As a work sample they filled up that low-lying area. Now coming back to Parnasree episode – For East Bengal refugees the Bengal Government announced a cooperative society to be set up so as to develop a habitable planned township under guidance of municipal norms of South Suburban Municipality . Land and Land Revenue department set up a steering committee headed by Mr. Amal Home of Hindusthan Insurance Company (later L I C I )as Chairman, Mr.Kshitindra Mohan Sen, Ex-Director of Customs, Mr. Mahendra Kumar De, Dr.Rukmini Dutta Roy, Educationist, Mr. M. L. Dhar, Lawyer, Mr. Nikhil Adhikari of United Bank of India . The chamber of Mr. M.L.Dhar at Dover Lane was the first office of this cooperative society in September 1948. The scenario was - New Alipore township with large plots having modern facilities like sewerage, water connection, metal road, electrified streets etc. were being promoted by Hindusthan. Many employees of Hindusthan missed the chance of getting a plot in New Alipore for its high price . Now many Hindusthan employees along with their friends, rushed to the office of the new project office and enquired about the modus operandi of the project. At that point the Name of the co-operative was suggested by Mr Asoke Ratan Mazumder as PARNASREE PALLY SAMABAY SAMITI and suggestion was accepted by voice vote. Immediately Mr. Dhar arranged for the registration with that name. In October 1948 share selling of co-operative started . It was decided that the share holding pattern will be Rs.100/- per person, with a sub clause that a person can pay Rs.50/- and balance Rs. 50/- within six calendar months. The survey was conducted by Mr. Robin Routh and site plan was planned . Low-lying areas were filled up by digging ponds. The developed lands were gradually handed over to PARNASREE PALLY SAMABAY SAMITI and distributed to the share holders.with Rs. 500/-for municipal mutation. Many deed of conveyance with Govt of West Bengal were done at stipulated price later.PRESENT DAY
