"Once the repair and restoration work is completed, we will promote the museum and centre. It can be one of the major tourist attractions," stated Joyoshi Das Gupta, District Magistrate, Darjeeling.

"There are many tourist groups arriving on a day tour from Darjeeling. The first stop over for this category of tourists is the Netaji museum enroute to Darjeeling. This time we have had a large number of footfall from Gujarat, Maharashtra and South India," claimed Pradhan. The house located at Giddeypahar, 4 km from Kurseong bears a rich legacy of two great sons of India: Sarat Chandra Bose and Netaji.
