The great Bengali statesman Dr. Bidhan Ray launched this little-known township with much fanfare. The Nadia district, which is known for its spiritual heritage, was conceived to create a township. This was at a time when Kolkata was struggling under the strain of the refugee influx. Dr. Bidhan, then the Chief Minister of West Bengal, had dreamed of a satellite city-ship to alleviate the population. Kalyani was born phoenix-like from the ashes and wartime at "Roosevelt Nagar", an American Military Base. It was named after Franklin D. Roosevelt, who served as the 32nd President from 1933 to 1945.
