Rajarhat, also called New Town, Calcutta, is one of India's latest and rapidly growing up megacities. It is situated at the Greater Calcutta area in the Indian state of West Bengal, and at a stone-throwing distance from the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Calcutta. Many high-profile industrialists of national and international repute are investing in the region with the cooperation of the Government of West Bengal, to make it one of India's major industrial hub. The place is already known for being one of the most impressive information technology and computer engineering hubs of India after the Indian silicon valley of Bangalore. The Government of West Bengal, along with some private-public partnership companies, is working on providing the township with all the latest infrastructures and amenities needed to make it an ideal and happening industrial and residential megacity.

This new industrial and residential hub is being developed on the north-eastern fringes on Calcutta, the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal, and the capital of British India as well. The place was originally, and still in many municipal areas two villages namely Rajarhat and Gopalpur. Thus, the area mainly consisted of huge acres of cultivable lands and waterbodies. The process of investing for residential and industrial facilities there and infrastructural development of the area has mainly started under the leadership of present Chief Minister of West Bengal and an industrial visionary Honourable Buddhadeb Bhattacharya in the late nineties. The governmental master plan envisions a township here at least three times bigger than the neighbouring planned Salt Lake city of Bidhannagar. According to governmental proposals, the township will be extended up to the extreme south of the state, i.e., up to the Sunderbans near the Bay of Bengal.

As of 2001 India census^[1], the Rajarhat and Gopalpur village areas had a population of 271,781. Males constituted 52% of the population and females 48%. In 2001, the area also had an average literacy rate of 76%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy was 81%, and female literacy was 72%.

But certainly with the completion of the establishment and development of the township, population of the area will give a quantum leap. Male-female ratio, literacy rate and every other regional statistics will therefore see radical changes within a few years.

Development

Still under development, this area was a big swamp and full of fisheries and cultivable lands. The megacity is being developed in Action Areas. The Action Area I has been developed first and is adjacent to Salt Lake's Sector V electronic complex. Therefore, as a natural extension, a large number of European, USA-based, Chinese, Japanese and the 'Great Indian' software companies have already started setting up their facilities in this part of the township. The area has already been renowned for a major centre for business process outsourcing, and technology giants like IBM, Philips, Wipro and Tata have all set their outsourcing plants here. The Action Area II, literally on the borders of the Calcutta International Airport area in North Calcutta, is also approaching completion by the end of 2007. With the completion of the Action Area II, the government plans to work on the development of Action Area III, which will be built behind Action Area I, and will be closer to South Calcutta.

The West Bengal Housing and Infrastructural Development Corporation is on the charge of building highway tracks in this region, and major ten-lane arterial roads have been built in 2000. A major Calcutta North-South connector wide-lane road, namely Eastern Metropolitan Bye-Pass, was built in the 1980s. And presently the newly built ten-lane arterial road has become an extension to that. The HIDCO is also working on building major bye-pass roads to connect the area with other places of West Bengal, and the Bangladesh border.

Housing

One of the most modern residential places of the country, several renowned real estate companies have already built luxurious highrise apartment complexes in Action Areas I and II, with the partnership of the West Bengal Housing and Infrastructural Development Corporation or HIDCO in short. Among many there, few important to name would be:

All these housing estates have been constructed in vast green fields with 75% of each estate remaining open. This makes these estates one of the most airy ones in Calcutta. Moreover, in five acres of land, each estate has their own clubbing facilities with modern sports and cultural complexes, community and shopping centres, swimming pools and many others.

This area, according to governmental plans, also caters the residential needs of high-profile non-resident-Indians. And housing complexes with all/most of the major Indian and Western amenities have been built remembering their needs.

Education

Some major national schools have already been established here for educating the children of this megacity. The most important being ABC EuroSchool, the soon to open flagship school of the Mumbai based Group. Many other higher education colleges, and especially engineering and business management colleges, have also been established here. The world-renowned and prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur is planning to set up a new campus here. The Government had established Derozio College for the villagers of the Rajarhat - Gopalpur section in the 1980s. The West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences, one of India's premier law schools; the National Institute of Fashion Technology, a premier fashion designing school; the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute, one of the country's finest institute for teaching film directing and editing; and the West Bengal University of Technology; are all located in the New Town - Salt Lake adjacent area, i.e., on the southern fringes of the Eastern Metropolitan Bye-Pass.

Many professional educational institutes (especially in business management and engineering) set up in this area are very well known.This included [Techno India College of Technology http://www.tictcollege.org] under the Techno India Group affiliated to WBUT. However, one thing that Rajarhat New Town lacks is a premier teaching and research institute of basic arts and sciences. Nor are there any projects by the government to establish institutes of basic arts and sciences in the area.

Health Facilities

Though major hospitals are yet to be built, this area's well connectivity with other parts of Calcutta subjects no hindrance to providing healthcare here. A handful of million dollar healthcare facilities are under projection, and most of them will be completed within the years 2010-2012. The most notable to mention would be the proposed one thousand bed intensive care hospital and state-of-the-art Cancer Research Centre by industrialist and world's Steel-baron Sir Ratan Tata.

The area anyway needs more healthcare facilities of its own, to be established both by private organisations, and by government which will ensure good health facilities at a reasonable price.

Leisure & Entertainment

The area has, though not internationally excellent, one of the best entertainment facilities in the state of West Bengal. Apart from private clubs of every offices and estates, the area has a good number of children's parks and clubs for everyone. Notable mention among those will be a water park called Aquatica; a good children's park called Nicco Park; a huge picnic spot consisting of waterbodies called Nalban; and a club for adults with traditional Indian yoga and spa facilities, called Vedic Village. , West Bengal (Bengali: à¦ªà¦¶à§à¦šà¦¿à¦®à¦¬à¦™à§à¦— PoshchimbÃ´Å‹go) is a state in eastern India. ...

Several international shopping malls are being constructed in the area, a few of them being already completed. Notable mentions would be Axis, and City Centre. The Rajarhat - New Town area is a shopper's paradise in the real sense of the term, but all these malls have been planned especially keeping in mind the needs of the elite class.

International five-star hotels like ITC Sonar Bangla, Hyatt Regency, and Airport Ashok are situated in the adjacent areas. These hotels have good multicuisine and pubbing facilities. Some more five-star and super luxurious hotels are on plan, including one being recently announced in 2007 by Ratan Tata for his chain of Ginger hotels. But in general, the Rajarhat - New Town area till date seriously lacks good restaurants and pubs of reasonable prices. The Hyatt Regency is one of the five Hyatt brands operated by the Hyatt Corporation. ... Year 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD/CE era. ... Ratan Naval Tata (born December 28, 1937, in Mumbai) is the present Chairman of the Tata Group, Indias largest conglomerate established by earlier generations of his family. ...

Future plans

The Government of West Bengal plans to shift a major portion of their administrative facilities to this new location. The Government of West Bengal also known as the State Government of West Bengal, or locally as State Government, is the supreme governing authority of the Indian state of West Bengal and its 19 districts. ...

The new township of Rajarhat - New Town is yet to establish any railway connectivity. Air Conditioned Government and Private Buses, Yellow Cabs, and other popular India transports like Auto Rickshaw are already in action to provide transportation service. Plans of extending the Calcutta underground railway system, namely Calcutta Metro, and the railway system of the Indian Railway within 2010-2012 are also there. This area's wide lanes are absolutely free from traffic congestion, making this place a favourite place for passionate highway drivers of Calcutta. Vehicle speeds in this area is notably higher than other parts of Calcutta, thanks to well-built and wide steel lanes. But traffic accidents are also on the rise for reckless driving in this area. Some instances of running away of school children crossing the road have taken place in recent years, causing a major reason of concern for social activists. However, the area, being situated close to the international airport, and at only a few miles distance from the Calcutta metropolis, is well connected regionally, nationally, and internationally.
