    I have been living here for about 13 years and am glad to be hare. I am ex student of Barasat Govt. college.When i had come here it was not as crowded as now it is. Being historically important Barasat has its own significance. I have seen the earlier status and position of Barasat. I have seen the new growth of Barasat.Barasat is prospering and going to become a busiest as well as crowded town of North 24 parganas.. I am proud to be here.. For any discussion regarding this issue please give me a call - 9339634025
