Answer:
Shanti Niketan is an exclusive housing colony in the very heart of New Delhi and the most sought after address in New Delhi. It is close to West End Colony, Chanakyapuri and Vasant Vihar, and was developed by the Government of India in the 1960s as a housing colony for government officials. The colony houses very high profile executives and industrialists. Over time the area has evolved as the most highly prized real estate in the capital, with the highest value all-cheque deals taking place here In 2011 industrialist Sandeep Jajodia, who is the head of sponge iron maker Monnet Ispat & Energy, bought a 2,000 sq yard bungalow no.1/26 Shanti Niketan for Rs.170 crore for his personal use from the Ghosh family. Informed sources close to the transactions say the liquidity constrained industrialist's other smaller property, the about 1200 sq yard residential plot No.1/17 Shanti Niketan may fetch Rs.160 crores in an all-cheque deal, which rumors caused the company's share price and volumes to spike when the news became known to insiders. Monnet Ispat's shares were trading around Rs.550 when Sandeep Jajodia bought his Rs.170 crore property in June 2011 and had continually declined to as low as Rs.53 in Jan 2014 but has recovered sharply to around Rs.120 on news of the rumored property sale and other developments finally commencing on Jajodia's 1/26 Shanti Niketan plot which was part financed by HDFC Bank

Answer:
Shantiniketan is a neighbourhood of Bolpur city in Bolpur subdivision of Birbhum district in West Bengal, India, approximately 152 km north of Kolkata . It was established by Maharshi Devendranath Tagore, and later expanded by his son Rabindranath Tagore whose vision became what is now a university town with the creation of Visva-Bharati.
In 1863, Debendranath Tagore took on permanent lease 20 acres (81,000 m2) of land, with two chhatim (alstonia scholaris) trees, at a yearly payment of Rs. 5, from Bhuban Mohan Sinha, the talukdar of Raipur, Birbhum. He built a guest house there and named it Shantiniketan (the abode of peace). Gradually, the whole area came to be known as Shantiniketan.Binoy Ghosh says that Bolpur was a small place in the middle of the 19th century. It grew as Shantiniketan grew. A certain portion of Bolpur was a part of the zamindari of the Sinha family of Raipur. Bhuban Mohan Sinha had developed a small village in the Bolpur area and named it Bhubandanga. It was just opposite Shantiniketan of those days.
Bhubandanga was the den of a gang of notorious dacoits, who had no compunction in killing people. It led to a situation of conflict and confrontation, but the leader of the gang, ultimately, surrendered to Debendranath, and they started helping him in developing the area. There was a chhatim tree under which Debendranath used to meditate. Inspired by The Crystal Palace built originally in Hyde Park, London, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851 and later relocated, Debendranath constructed a 60-foot × 30-foot hall for Brahmo prayers.
