KOLKATA: Chief minister Mamata Banerjee had, in the past, recollected her association with Manmatha Nath Nandan Girls’ and Boys’ Primary School. “As a college student, I used to come here to teach in a school where I got Rs 60 per month as salary, which I gave to my mother as by then I had lost my father,” she had earlier said.
Singh recalled that Banerjee used to teach primary students at the school in the early 60s. “I was a boy then but I still remember Didi coming to the school in a white sari with a brown border. In those days, the school had around 400 students. As a Bhowanipore resident, we have a strong emotional attachment with this school, which is why we fought against the promoting proposal,” he told TOI.
