You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

It is the headquarters of the [[Uttar Dinajpur district]]. The police station was set up 125 years ago and railway connectivity reached the place 115 years ago.((when|date=September 2020)) The city houses the 111-year-old [[Raiganj Coronation High School]] and more than 50-years-old government primary Raiganj Sarala Sundari GSFP School.

==Etymology==
The origin of the name "Raiganj" is not exactly known, and is debated. Some say the name is linked to the royal family of Dinajpur whose surname was Rai. The widely accepted view is that the name originated from the abundance of rai sorshe (a special type of mustard) crops at this place from time immemorial.<ref>((cite web | url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/kolkata/once-upon-a-time/story-y2YcMKtTbufxxbbjMsw23J.html | title=Once upon a time | date=13 April 2011 ))</ref> Many people think that the word "Raiganj" came from "Rai" meaning "[[Radha]]", the consort of [[Krishna]]. In this connection, "Kaliaganj", nearest city to Raiganj, comes from "Kalia" meaning "Krishna", the central character of ''[[Mahabharata]]''.

===Raiganj Wildlife Sanctuary===
Raiganj is known for [[Raiganj Wildlife Sanctuary]] (also called the Kulik Bird Sanctuary), home to a large population of [[Asian openbill]]s and other waterbirds and it is the largest bird sanctuary in Asia. Raiganj is situated at the banks of Kulik river which helped the town to become an important place for water connectivity. In course of time, the navigability of Kulik river decreased and business through the waterway was stopped in the first half of the 1970s, especially after the dam was erected to prevent floods. The port area slowly lost its significance and, at present, it is the most backward locality of Raiganj.

===Location===
The area of this town is about 36.51&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>. The present growing tendency and trend of urbanisation in the area adjacent to this town are also remarkable. The agglomeration areas are also experiencing this trend. Now the vast areas under Birghai, Maraikura, Rupahar, Bahin, Karnojora, and [[Maharaja Hat]] are also growing with the population like the town of Raiganj, and this population is dependent on Raiganj town.<ref>((cite web | url=http://indiamapsite.com/west_bengal/raiganj/#&lat=25.613029&lng=88.134519&z=11&mt=hybrid&pls=0 | title=Raiganj map (West Bengal) ))</ref>

[[Rickshaws]], auto-rickshaws, e-rickshaws and city autos are the most widely available [[public transport]] in Raiganj. Most residents stay within a few kilometres of the town centre and have their own vehicles, mostly [[motorcycle]]s and [[bicycles]].

[[Raiganj railway station]] is on the [[Katihar-Siliguri Line|Barsoi-Radhikapur branch line]]. Railway connectivity reached here more than 150 years ago but, due to Indo-Bangladesh partition in 1971 the links through Bangladesh were lost and the railway became only a branch line.

[[National Highway 34 (India)|NH 34]] passes through Raiganj which connects is to the capital of the state [[Kolkata]]. Conversion of the highway to four lanes is going on and the proposed highway will bypass Raiganj by about 6&nbsp;km. The roadway connectivity suffers due to the traffic jam caused at [[Dalkhola]] on a regular basis. Raiganj also lacks in railway connectivity because the station is on a branch line. In the 1960s, the broad gauge line was shifted to Malda-Barsoi-Dalkhola, thus bypassing Raiganj.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.raiganjonline.in/city-guide/transport-in-raiganj|title = Transport in Raiganj, Bus Services in Raiganj, Raiganj Railways))</ref>

===Roadways===

==Tourism==

===Raiganj Bird Sanctuary===
Situated along the National Highway and by the side of the Kulik river is the [[Raiganj Wildlife Sanctuary]] with an area of 35 acres and a buffer area of 286 acres. The forest and water bodies attract migratory birds like the open bill stork, night heron, cormorant, little cormorant and egret from South Asian countries and coastal regions. Local birds like dove, bulbul, sparrow, kingfisher, woodpecker, owl, duck and cuckoo, can also be seen in large numbers.

The migratory birds arrive from the end of May to the first week of July, and depart from mid-December to the end of January. The nesting time is from July to August, and egg laying from August to September. The flying training to the young ones is the best time to observe the birds, around October to November. Every winter nearly 150 different bird species arrive here from the north in numbers ranging from 65,000 to 75,000.

The sanctuary has an artificial network of man made canals which is connected to the River Kulik. During the months of monsoon the flood water from the river enters the plains of the sanctuary. This acts as an important source of food for most of the bird species.

'''Legal status of the forest:'''

This bird sanctuary is set to be rejuvenated, with plans of developing a deer park and a tortoise park soon at the core of the sanctuary by the state government.<ref>((cite web| url = http://www.thestatesman.com/bengal/plan-to-develop-kulick-bird-sanctuary-148036.html| title = Plan to develop Kulick bird sanctuary - The Statesman| website = [[The Statesman (India)|The Statesman]]| date = 12 June 2016))</ref>

==Educational institutions==

===Schools===
[[File:Raiganj Coronation High School.jpg|thumb|upright|Raiganj Coronation High School]]

Raiganj's schools usually use English and Bengali as their [[medium of instruction]], although the use of [[Hindi]] is also stressed. The schools are affiliated with the [[Indian Certificate of Secondary Education]] (ICSE) or the [[Central Board of Secondary Education]] (CBSE) or the [[West Bengal Board of Secondary Education]]. Schools include [[Raiganj Coronation High School]], the oldest school in the town, established in 1911, and English medium ICSE High School [[St. Xaviers School]].

===Colleges===
There are several colleges and a government polytechnic in the town. Raiganj College has been upgraded to [[Raiganj University]], an autonomous, state-owned university. The colleges of Raiganj were affiliated to [[University of North Bengal]], but after the establishment of [[University of Gour Banga]] at [[Malda district|Malda]] in 2008, the colleges are now affiliated to [[University of Gour Banga]]. Notable colleges include [[Raiganj Surendranath Mahavidyalaya]].

===University===

====Raiganj University====
[[Raiganj University]] is a public university in Raiganj, in the Uttar Dinajpur district. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in arts, commerce and sciences. It became a university in August 2015. Earlier it was a university college, which was affiliated to the University of North Bengal.

==Healthcare==
As of 2016, the healthcare system in Raiganj consisted of a government super speciality hospital, under the Department of Health & Family Welfare, Government of West Bengal, and quite a few private medical establishments.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.raiganjonline.in/city-guide/health-care-in-raiganj|title = Hospitals in Raiganj, List of Clinics and Nursing in Raiganj))</ref>

===Raiganj Government Medical College and Hospital===

===Raiganj District Hospital===
[[File:Raiganj Super Speciality Hospital.jpg|thumb|right|Raiganj Super Speciality Hospital]]
[[File:Raiganj District Hospital.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Raiganj Medical College & Hospital]]

There are a total of 400 existing beds for patients in different wards of Raiganj district hospital. However, there was no infrastructure for the treatment of dying patients and the patients who suffer from complicated diseases of the kidney and heart. Hence, on most occasions, complicated patients are transferred either to North Bengal Medical College & Hospital in Siliguri or Malda medical college and even to Kolkata which is 444&nbsp;km away. The patient parties are facing great crisis to shift their patients either to Siliguri or Malda. Sometimes, patients die on the way as a result of complexities.

On 27 November, the state Chief Minister [[Mamata Banerjee]] during her visit to Raiganj announced that Raiganj District Hospital would be upgraded to a super specialty hospital and to start new Raiganj Medical College & Hospital in 2018.((citation needed|date=May 2019))

[[File:Smart Bazar, Raiganj.jpg|thumb|Smart Bazar, Raiganj]]

Raiganj remains an important trading centre, running daily business transaction of at least 60 thousand on average, next only to Siliguri. Around two lakh people visit Raiganj every day for business. However, there is no industry as such in Raiganj. In the suburbs, there is a government-undertaken spinning mill with about 800 employees but even that it is struggling. It could shut down any day.

Economy of Raiganj also depends greatly on agriculture. Raiganj is the sole producer of a special quality aromatic basmati rice called [[Tulaipanji]]. Tulaipanj rice has been given a Geographical Indication Tag from the Government of India. This rice was even sent to the London Olympics for its aroma and taste. A special kind of brinjal is also produced at Raiganj which is much bigger and tastier than its other species.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.envirobiotechjournals.com/article_abstract.php?aid=5095&iid=172&jid=3|title = Tulaipanji a precious scented rice land race of north bengal, india))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=http://midh.gov.in/Archive/AAP/WestBengal2015.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=16 December 2016 |archive-date=20 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220220409/http://midh.gov.in/Archive/AAP/WestBengal2015.pdf |url-status=dead ))</ref>

Raiganj is the district headquarter of North Dinajpur. The administrative buildings are located at Karnajora, a gram panchayat area five kilometres from Raiganj town. All along, Raiganj was developed in a scattered manner. When West Dinajpur existed, this side was deprived since the district headquarters was in Balurghat.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.raiganjonline.in/city-guide/administration-in-raiganj|title = Administration in Raiganj, Municipal Corporation of Raiganj))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.raiganjmunicipality.com/administration/#.W2PtHtUzbIU|title=Administration &#124; Raiganj Municipality))</ref>
