About RAJSHAHI
The
city of Rajshahi is the divisional headquarters of Rajshahi division as
well as the administrative district that bears its name and is one of
the six metropolitan cities of Bangladesh. Often referred to as Silk
City and Education City, Rajshahi is located at 24.40°N 88.50°E and is
situated on the northern banks of the river Padma. It consists of nine
Upazilas,14 Pourasavas and seventy one unions. Rajshahi was formerly
known as Rampur Boalia. Though an epigraphic record engraved on the
Dargah of the famous saint Hazrat Shah Makdhum (Rh.) indicates that the
antiquity of Rajshahi goes back to at least 1634 A.D. The town was given
importance in 1825, when the East India Company shifted the
administrative headquarters of the district of Rajshahi from Natore to
then Rampur Boalia, mainly for the ease of communication from Calcutta
through the Hooghly river, Bhairab River and Padma river. Rajshahi
Municipality, which was one of the first municipalities in Bangladesh,
was established in 1876. Rajshahi Municipality was renamed as Rajshahi
Pourashabha, and finally, Rajshahi Pourshava was declared Rajshahi City
Corporation in 1987. Besides the City Corporation, a governing body
named Rajshahi Unnayan Kortripokhkho (Rajshahi Development
Authority-RDA) is there to plan the development of the city and to
coordinate all the development related work.Rajshahi is famous for its
silk industries. Fine and cheap silk products of Rajshahi have earned it
the nickname Silk City. Rajshahi is also well known for its fruits,
especially for Mango and Lychee. Besides the beautiful Mango Orchards
and river beaches, it is home to renowned educational institutions
covering almost all of professional and cultural fields available within
the country. This is why Rajshahi is sometimes referred to as Education
City in Bangladesh. Rajshahi is an important tourist destination
