Nabanna, Administrative headquarters in Howrah, India
The fourteen-story Nabanna building stands on the banks of the Hooghly River, housing multiple government departments of West Bengal state administration.
In 2013, Nabanna replaced the Writers' Building, which had served as West Bengal's administrative center for more than two hundred years.
The name Nabanna derives from Bengali language, referring to new rice, connecting the building to agricultural traditions of West Bengal.
Located at 325 Sarat Chatterjee Road in Shibpur district, Nabanna contains the chief minister's office on the top floor and home departments on levels four and five.
The structure transformed from a garment park and bridge commission office into the state secretariat within just forty-five days.
