Kalyani, from the university, the district and the record
From the University of Kalyani and Nadia district sites, Invest India's ODOP list and Meta; the town's wartime origin, layout and institutions are general background from Wikipedia.
The University of Kalyani describes the town as a satellite township under the long-term perspective plan of the Calcutta Urban Agglomeration and the brainchild of Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy, whose master plan stressed education and health.[1]
The university was established on 1 November 1960 by the University of Kalyani Act; both its campuses lie within Kalyani Municipality, it is NAAC A grade, and 62 colleges in Nadia and Murshidabad are affiliated to it.[1]
Kalyani is one of Nadia's four subdivisions, with Krishnagar Sadar, Ranaghat and Tehatta, and covers three blocks: Kalyani, Chakdaha and Haringhata.[2]
Invest India's One District One Product list names Tangail, Jamdani and Shantipore sarees for Nadia, with clay dolls second.[3]
In the Second World War the site was an American airbase called Roosevelt Town; the town's foundation stone was laid on 24 February 1951, it hosted the 1954 Congress session, and its municipality dates from 1995.[5]
The town is laid out in Blocks A to D: A with the main station, the state general hospital and a medical college, B with offices and the library, C for institutions such as the university, and D for small and medium industry.[5]
