West Bengal CM Announces Development Plans for Vidyasagar's Birthplace and Library Changes
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced plans to develop Birsingha, the birthplace of 19th-century reformer Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, into a tourist and research destination. The government will improve infrastructure, including roads, solar lighting, and health facilities, and convert the local library into a museum. Adhikari also directed state and government school libraries to prioritize Vidyasagar's works over those of former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, whose books will be removed from official libraries, reflecting a shift in cultural emphasis.
