Uttar Kanya, Government building in Siliguri, India.
Uttar Kanya is a government building in Siliguri that serves as the regional headquarters for northern Bengal districts. The structure holds office spaces, conference rooms, and administrative facilities needed for daily governance operations.
Construction of this regional headquarters began in 2013 and finished within a year to meet North Bengal's governance needs. The facility marked a shift toward permanent regional administration rather than seasonal operations.
The facility manages administrative tasks for six districts including Coochbehar, Jalpaiguri, Darjeeling, Uttar Dinajpur, Dakshin Dinajpur, and Malda regions.
The building employs sustainable systems including rainwater collection and solar lighting for daily operations. Comprehensive security measures with cameras are in place throughout the facility.
This branch secretariat represents the first instance of a permanent regional government headquarters in India, different from seasonal operational shifts.
