Kalyani
India officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second most populous country, and the most populous liberal democracy in the world. India is a union of twenty-eight states and seven federally-governed union territories. New Delhi is the capital of India.
Kalyani is one of the famous cities in India. Kalyani is a city and a municipality in Nadia district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is a planned town and an important centre of education. It can be considered a university town with two universities and many colleges. It is a small and quiet town. However, there are many refugees from Bangladesh living in makeshift structures in the town. The Kalyani Municipality has got the best municipality award in 2004 along with the Durgapur Municipality of Burdwan district and Ingrejbajar Municipality of Malda district. It has an average elevation of 11 meters. Kalyani had a population of 81,984 in 2001.
Kalyani is a relatively young town. During the Second World War, Kalyani, was the site of a military airbase. Hangars and other reminders of the air-field are still visible in the A' Block and some areas around Kalyani University, whose buildings were built on or over the runways, thereby thorughly destroying a very valuable asset. Kalyani has two universities. One is Kalyani University, and other one is Bidhan Chandra University Of Agriculture. Kalyani divided into 4 blocks.
Kalyani is perhaps the best managed town in the whole of Nadia district. With its underground drainage systems, well built tree lined avenues and lush green parks, it certainly emerges as a clean and green town. It has a big stadium conducting both football and cricket match. There are four railway stations here Kalyani, Kalyani Silpanchal, Kalyani Ghoshpara and Kalyani Simanta. This is the only industrial township in Nadia district.
The serene beauty of Kalyani simply enthralls the mind and soul. Far from the hustle and bustle of big cities and yet providing all the amenities of life, Kalyani has very quickly registered itself as a self-sufficient township. Its gradual development continued as a notified area. After 1996 it was upgraded to a municipality.
Kalyani is the kind of town you daydream about. It is a city with endless recreational opportunities, rich history, and modern day luxuries.
