Uttar Dinajpur district, Administrative district in West Bengal, India
Uttar Dinajpur is an administrative district in West Bengal with predominantly flat terrain and fertile soil that supports widespread farming across the region. The area comprises two administrative subdivisions called Raiganj and Islampur that serve as the main centers.
The district came into being in 1992 when the former West Dinajpur district was split into two separate administrative regions. This division created a new administrative framework for the northern part of West Bengal.
Multiple communities throughout the district express their traditions through local festivals and handcrafted goods that visitors can see year-round. These practices reflect how different groups maintain their ways of life alongside one another in daily routines.
The district is connected by major national highways that link the two administrative subdivisions and surrounding areas. Travelers can move between the centers on well-established road networks that serve regional traffic.
A bird sanctuary called Raiganj Wildlife Sanctuary sits within the district boundaries and hosts many bird species found in the region. This protected area allows visitors to observe local wildlife in their natural habitats away from urban areas.
