Bidhannagar (Bengali: বিধাননগর), or Salt Lake City (Bengali: সল্ট লেক সিটি) as it is popularly called, is a planned satellite town in the Indian state of West Bengal. It was developed between 1958 and 1965 to accommodate the burgeoning population of Kolkata.
It is now a hub of economic and social expansion and is famous as the centre for IT in the city. Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, the then Chief Minister of West Bengal, was instrumental in formulating the plan to build this satellite area, and the township was named Bidhan Nagar in his honour.The city was built on a reclaimed salt-water lake, which gave rise to its popular name of "Salt Lake City".

A Journey of our Alma Mater by a fellow Xaverian
Oye la historia que contome un día
El viejo enterrador de la comarca
Era un amante que por suerte impía
Su dulce bien le arrebato la parca
Todas las noches iba al cementerio
A visistar la tumba de su hermosa
La gente murmuraba con misterio
Es un muerto escapado de la fosa
En una horrenda noche hizo pedazos
El mármol de la tumba abandonada
Cavó la tierra y se llevó en sus brazos
El rigido esqueleto de su amada
Y allá en la triste habitacón sombría
De un cirio fúnebre a la llama incierta
Sentó a su lado la osamenta fría
Y celebró sus bodas con la muerta
Ató con cintas los desnudos huesos
El yerto cráneo coronó de flores
La horrible boca la cubrió de besos
Y le contó sonriendo sus amores
Llevó a la novia al tálamo mullido
se acostó junto a ella enamorado
y para siempre se quedó dormido
