Record of the renovation of Haldhar Nag Kutir

The construction date of Padmashree Haldhar Nag Kavi Kutir is unknown. It was originally a kiosk built by Nag in his early years to sell stationery and snacks to nearby students. [3]

Before the renovation, Haldhar Nag Kutir was dilapidated and dimly lit; the roof is made of iron sheets, [4] and the walls were paved with discarded Coke cans [5] , and there are no toilet and other facilities. Haldhar Nag's manuscripts and poetry collections had no cupboards to store them, so they were piled in cardboard boxes and gunny sacks and placed under the bed, causing them to be damp due to improper preservation. [6]

In 2019, Susmita Dash and Rajesh Tripathy, a doctor couple from Bargarh, decided to renovate Haldhar Nag Kutir, and turn it into a gallery with Haldhar Nag's approval. The renovated Haldhar Nag Kutir displays all his awards and memorabilia. [7] [8] On September 25 of the following year, the renovation of the Haldhar Nag Kutir was completed and it was inaugurated by Susanta Singh and Debesh Acharya, as the chief guests. [1] [9]
