A three room permanent house was built by Sri Debidas Basu Thakur at Naoara Mahal for the purpose of setting up an office there. He used the room on the Northern side of that house as a place for his siesta (afternoon nap). This was also used as his personal office. The inside room of this house was also used as an office and the other room (the Southern side room) was used as a warehouse. This warehouse was under the supervision of Sri Krishnajeevan Mazumdar who was the father of Raja Rajballav. He was the head clerk of his office.

There were a lot of people who used to work under Sri Debidas Basu. It will be really difficult to dig out all the names of the workers working under him in his office after 250 years. Still a few names can be recovered and can be listed below :

• Sri Anandiram Mustafi (Ancestors of Raisbor Mustafis)
• Sri Krishnajeevan Mazumdar (Father of Maharaja Rajballav)
• Sri Krishnajeevan Mazumdar (Ancestors of Beertara Mazumdars)
• Sri Ramgati Ball Dey ( Resident of Maoa)
• Sri Raghunandan Gupta (Resident of Domsar)
• Sri Elahi Bux
• Sri Krishnajeevan Basu Ray (Ancestors of Basu Ray Chowdhury’s of Bahar)
• Sri Laxminarayan Mazumdar (Ancestors of Mazumdars from Sonardaul)
• Sri Ramratan Bandhyopadhyay (Ancestor of Zamindars from Murapara)

Sri Ramratan Bandhyopadhyay was the deputy excise officer. Sri Debidas Basu Thakur use to stay on this side of the Brahmaputra and refused to go to the other side of Brahmaputra in fear of losing his nobility. He left this job for Ramratan. It was Sri Ramratan who used to look after this area. Most of the employees of Sri Debidas Basu Thakur were from high houses (clans), mainly hailing from Bikrampur Kayastha Society. Most of their descendants are now on top of their respective societies.

It was said that his employees used to visit his house during the Saraswati Puja and used to offer token money (Pronami) to the goddess and in return Sri Debidas Basu used to gift them pens (Khags) so that the employees can use them in their office. This tradition went on long after the death of Sri Debidas Basu. Later even the descendants of the employees used to visit Malkhanagarh during the time of Saraswati puja and offered Pronami and take Khags in return just like the times of Sri Debidas Basu Thakur. These khags were even sent to the palace of Rajnagar.

Sri Krishnajeevan Mazumdar had four sons; Rajaram, Dhaniram, Rajballav and Ramram. In the year 1698 Raja Rajballav was born. In his rice ceremony Debidas was invited by Sri Krishnajeevan Mazumdar. Debidas in return gifted Raypur village to Rajballav.

Raja Rajballav used to visit his father’s office when he was a kid. There was a story that went on for generations, it was said that one day Raja Rajballav accompanied his father to his office. He played there for a long time and got tired. He then went on to Sri Debidas’s office and fell asleep. When Debidas came to his office he saw a snake was guarding the sunlight from falling into Raja Rajballav’s face. Sri Debidas instantly knew that there is something special about that little child and he will be someone famous in the future. He picked up the kid in his lap and went to Sri Krishnajeevan Mazumdar. He told him that in the future this kid will become someone great. If he becomes king in the future please promise him that Raja Rajballav will take care of his descendants. Sri Krishnajeevan without knowing why this was being said promised Sri Debidas that his descendants will always be faithful to Sri Debidas’s descendants.

Raja Rajballav lost his father at a very young age. By that time Sri Debidas Basu Thakur also expired. His office at Naoara Mahal was shifted to Dhaka by then. It was thought that with recommendation from Sri Rudradas Basu Thakur, Raja Rajballav was appointed as a clerk in 1717; he was only 19 years old. By using his wits and hard work along with his talent he self-improved and earned the title of ‘Raja’ from the Ray Bahadur.

After receiving the title of ‘Raja’ the descendants of Devidas Basu Thakur joined him in his court, they were invited by Raja Rajballav and was presented a seat in the ‘Muslund’. This later became a tradition which the descendants of Basu house used to follow. They only started accepting marriage invitation if and only if ‘Muslund’ was offered to them. This became the greatest of all respects that can be given to a noble at that time.
