Tehsil Kalyani, District Nadia, Bengal, Bharat.

Kalyani was planned to be a self-sufficient township together with university, excellent medical facility, fertile farming hinterland, progressive industry and sprawling cultural and entertainment centre. This is perhaps one of the very few places in India with well planned water-supply, sewage & drainage, together with spacious housing plots.
Founder father of the town, Dr. B. C. Roy, created this town with much affection and vision.
Subsequent administrators failed to complete the vision and most of the resource and infrastructure are now in shambles. In the post 1971 era, unscrupulous refugees inhabition in the outskirts of the town has further affected the social fabric and law & order situation.
As of now, two universities, four technical institutions, three hospitals, several other medical facilities and few small-scale industry, thrives. The original towns-people are mostly in the advancing years and have retired from social life. The new-comers are either neo-intellectuals or carpet-baggers, having little value for social interraction. Even amidst the reduced shine, a person coming to the city for the first time would be amazed by the beauty of this place.
Central Park is the central point of Block B and known as the heart of the city.

    Normally here is no sound pollution.Peace prevails here all along. I regain my lost energy here returning from polluted Kolkata by 8.00 p.m. after day's exhaustion. KalyaniTownship is situated at the Border of two districts, therefore, its Social Liaison System is weak but I do belief 'gradually it will develop. - SUBRATA KUMAR BISWAS, A-8/124
  • ryaBlues (guest)
    Hey Its Mesmerizing Feeling, when am back home after the rough & tough work schedules from Far away, the breeze of my town gives me energy to regain strength and relax me by releasing stress. Its a fun while we are around the places like The LAKE, Cafe AddA, so on.. to cherish some good moments with our friends. ############# I consider, ITS THE Magical CREATION OF Dr. B.C. ROY ##############
  • ashim1973
    Yes, it is definitely a failure of the administrators of post BC ROY era to develop the town as it would have been planned. But stil the town has a different ambience to stay peacefully. Most of the young citizens are going out for jobs, this is not good. But we can't blame them also as employment oppertunities in bengal is very less. still we like the town

    creation is not about dreaming only. it's about creating.so let's stop being an iconophile.Kalyani doesn't belong to anyone other than us who stay here and have lived and grown with it. it's our city, our dream, our pride. its basic strength lies in its human resource( i do not mean population,of course;but being able to change that into an asset;e.g a single case of death due to any epidemic did not occur here during the last ten years, even during times of flood)and its basic weakness lies in its sparse intra- township communication.perhaps, this is the only city where two world views co-exist-the nostalgic indolent rural society and the post globalization bourgeoisie urbanized society.

    Kalyani is the pride of Nadia District. Thousands of people getdown here with expectation that he/she will have a solution of his problems from Kalyani. -- S.K. BISWAS
