Due to tremendous growth, Siliguri is now far away from its past outlook, becoming the largest and fastest growing city in eastern India after Guwahati. In this city we can easily access schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, airport, three railway stations, radio stations, private Engineering college, hotels etc. So, this city is also known as the "UNCROWNED CAPITAL OF NORTH BENGAL".The book, "History of Siliguri (1800-2020)" explores transitions and changes by observing the individual experiences, while bringing the larger issues to a more accessible scale, also, this book focuses on the realistic challenges faced by the people of Siliguri since time immemorial.
