The Society was formed in 1954 and was meant to be a housing society for Government Officials only,[2] consisting of both residential and business settlements.[3] It is surrounded by the Kurji- Rajapur road on one side and the Bailey Road[4] and Gosain Tola on the other and by New Patliputra colony and Rajeev Nagar on one side.
