Location

Netaji Bhavan is an underground metro station on the North-South corridor of the Blue Line of Kolkata Metro in Bhawanipore, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. ^{[1] [2]}

This name is from Netaji Bhawan, the nearby memorial hall and museum of Subhas Chandra Bose ("Netaji"). Scenes of the Netaji's life are painted inside the station.

History

In 1984, when the Metro opened in Kolkata (then Calcutta), it was the southern most station. The station at that time was "Bhawanipore". Later the name was changed to Netaji Bhawan.
