Payradanga is a suburban area in the Nadia district of West Bengal. It is situated between Ranaghat and Chakdaha.

History

The entire history combines places like Payradanga, Anulia, Baidyapur, ans Haradham. Roads connect all these places. In 1606 A.C. Bhabananda Roy Majumder was the King of Nadia according to the Mughal Empire Jahangir's 14 Parganas. Later on Raja Rudra (1683–94) established the city Krishnagar. However, the development in Nadia was led by Raja Krishnachandra (1728–82). He built religious places and small localities around different places in Nadia. He also built a locality at Haradham (currently in Payradanga) and Anandadham. There were many areas scattered in and around Payradanga, while during the 1950s some social workers, like Khitish Chandra Guha, Rohonikanta Das, and Bhabes Chandra Chakroborty developed a locality in Pritinagar. They built a co-operative to support the project. After that they established the Pritinagar High School and started the Durga Puja festival and other activities.

The first structured ruling system employed in Payradanga was the Chowkidary Panchayat system that started in 1870 during the British period. In 1885 this two-level ruling structure was formed by the British Government. Post-independence, the ruling scheme was similar. In 1957 the first Panchayet structure was employed in West Bengal, but in 1973 this law was passed and a 3-stage panchayet was employed, i.e. Zilla Parishad, Block Panchayet Samiti. The 1st Gram Panchayat election was held in June 1978. Ukilnara is one of the most popular area in Payradanga.

gollark: I'm looking at getting a cheapish used laptop because my desktop is, well, not portable.

gollark: I mean, Sky said "PC", so I assumed desktop-tower-thingy.

gollark: Laptops are a separate thing and have much worse price/performance.

gollark: The most cost-effective way to get a decently powerful computer is to build it yourself, which is actually not that hard as long as you can use a screwdriver and read manuals.
