Bhagalpur is one of the oldest districts of Bihar, located in the eastern part of the state. It
was once rated among the six best silk-producing Indian cities, and is still known as 'Silk
City'. Here, the river Ganga flows towards north and is, therefore, referred to as
'Uttarvahini Ganga'.
One of the major industries here is the power generation unit of National Thermal Power
Corporation. The power plant is situated at Kahalgaon, nearly 30 km from Bhagalpur district HQ
town.
Bhagalpur is well-connected by rail to most parts of the country, and is a major station
between Kiul Junction and Howrah on the Delhi-Patna-Kolkata route. |
