A Walk In The Past

Birpara, though categorised as a rural locality, gradually developed as an important town in the Dooars through the endeavour of the people of the area. The surrounding tea gardens, established by the British, brought labourers from Jharkhand, Bihar, Orissa and other parts of the country. People connected with the tea gardens have been depending on this town for years. The adjacent Birpara Tea Garden, owned by the Duncan Group of Industries, spared a part of their cultivable land for the establishment of Birpara town many years ago.
