Legacy
After his death the Hooghly municipality renamed a road and a town hall in Chinsura after him due to his reputation as one of the earliest Indian and one of the longest serving Magistrate and Collectors of the district. A hall in Malda town, where the town's dramatics club is located, is also named after him. He was the District Magistrate and Collector of Malda.
On his birth centenary in 1952 his family members arranged for the publication of segments of his memoir "Reminiscences of an Indian Member of the Indian Civil Service", (Calcutta, 1925-9) in the Calcutta Review, the journal of Asiatic Society, Calcutta.
In 2001, approximately 2000 photographs of himself and his family members were given on loan to the photographic archives of the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta. Later, the archive was shifted to the newly established Jadunath Sarkar Centre for Historical Research, CSSSC, Calcutta, and the photographs too were deposited at 'Jadunath Bhavan', where the new Centre is located.
