"From that day, the party will prepare for a year-long birth centenary celebration of Jyoti Basu with due honour," the CPI(M) state committee said after a meeting here today.
The state committee said the celebrations would include spread of Marxist ideology and for extending mass organisations.
The party has already decided to set up a Jyoti Basu centre for social studies and research at Rajarhat in memory of the Marxist leder who died on January 17, 2010.
