Alipurduar Municipality, established on 7th February 1957, stands as a cornerstone of
urban governance in the scenic Dooars region of West Bengal. With its roots in history
and eyes on a progressive future, this civic body has evolved alongside the dynamic
growth of Alipurduar district, which was carved out as a separate administrative entity
in recent decades.
Strategically located along the serene banks of the Kaljani and Nonai rivers, Alipurduar
Municipality spans a geographical area of 8.98 square kilometers and is divided into 20
administrative wards. Each ward represents a vibrant mix of communities, cultures, and
aspirations that collectively shape the identity of this urban center.
Serving as the primary urban local body, the municipality is entrusted with delivering
critical civic services to over 15,000 households, including:
Clean and reliable water supply
Solid waste management and sanitation
Construction and maintenance of roads and infrastructure
Public health and hygiene initiatives
Street lighting and beautification projects
Regulation of urban planning and building permits
Welfare programs for the marginalized and underprivileged
Driven by a vision of inclusive development, transparency, and citizen-centric
governance, Alipurduar Municipality is steadily transforming into a modern urban hub
while preserving its rich cultural and ecological heritage. Special attention is given
to sustainable growth, environmental conservation, and the digital delivery of municipal
services.
With a committed team of elected representatives and administrative staff, the
municipality continues to uphold its mission of creating a cleaner, greener, safer, and
more livable Alipurduar — one that meets the needs of today while preparing for the
challenges of tomorrow.
As a growing municipality nestled at the gateway to the Northeast and Bhutan, Alipurduar
holds immense potential in tourism, trade, and socio-economic progress. The civic body
remains steadfast in its resolve to foster infrastructure, empower local communities,
and promote participatory governance for the betterment of all residents.
