The more than 200 years old Doorgacharan Mookerjee Ghat on the eastern bank of the river Ganga (Bhagirathi-Hooghly) in the Bagbazaar area of North Kolkata had been taken up by the local centre of Sri Ramakrishna Math for restoration and adaptive re-use of the Ghat structure and improvement of the immediate environs. On behalf of Centre for Habitat, Environment and Disaster Management (CHEDM), Prof. Mondeep Chattopadhyaya and Ms. Suchandra Bardhan from DRONAH prepared an outline plan for the same and supervised the entire work. Part of the riverfront was also developed for community use and enjoyment.
