The area was basically wet land which was filled up
with silt from the river Hoogly
People began to settle here in the 70’s.
In 1995 after the formation of the Municipal Board an
area consisting of a large part of the East Kolkata
Wetland was added to the planned city thus increasing
the area from 12.5 sq km to 33.5 sq km.
OVERVIEW: The planned portion of the Bidhannagar Municipality
initially had
5 Sectors
23 Wards
39 Blocks
Later an added area of 21 sq km is added to it
Out of these sectors, sector –V (2.3 sq km app.),
earmarked for IT industries very recently is separated
to form a new municipal board- Naba Diganta Industrial
Township
At present the area of Bidhannagar is 31.3 sq km app.
SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS: The planned township has residents from the LIG, HIG
& MIG of the society.
The slums of Dattabad (typical urban slum area) is
inhabited by the EWS.
The added areas, (mainly rural in character) are
inhabited mostly by the EWS.
There are 21 slums in the Bidhannagar Municipal area.
Out of which-
• 4 are at Dattabad
