Nimtita
Nimtita is a village and gram panchayat in the Samserganj CD block in the Jangipur subdivision of Murshidabad district in the state of West Bengal, India.
Two cousins, Gour Sundar and Dwarikanath Choudhury purchased large tracts of land and established the Nimtita Estate around 1866–67. In June 2022, the Nimtita Rajbari was declared as a heritage under the West Bengal Heritage Commission. The house itself was miraculously spared." The Rajbari survived but 1955 saw the abolition of the zamindari system. The estate collapsed and things started decaying. There were pleasant breaks – Satyajit Ray came to shoot films here (see below for more details) and Renuka Ray made the Rajbari her election campaign headquarters – but for all practical purposes, it had reached the end of its glorious chapter.
Note:Nimtita Rajbari is located on the banks of the Ganges, near Jagtai.
Nimtita is located at 24°39′02″N 87°58′12″E / 24.6505°N 87.9701°E.
Jangipur subdivision is crowded with 52 census towns and as such it had to be presented in two location maps. One of the maps can be seen alongside. The subdivision is located in the Rarh region that is spread over from adjoining Santhal Pargana division of Jharkhand. The land is slightly higher in altitude than the surrounding plains and is gently undulating. The river Ganges, along with its distributaries, is prominent in both the maps. At the head of the subdivision is the 2,245 m long Farakka Barrage, one of the largest projects of its kind in the country. Murshidabad district shares with Bangladesh a porous international border which is notoriously crime prone (partly shown in this map). The subdivision has two large power plants - the 2,100 MW Farakka Super Thermal Power Station and the 1,600 MW Sagardighi Thermal Power Station. According to a 2016 report, there are around 1,000,000 (1 million/ ten lakh) workers engaged in the beedi industry in Jangipur subdivision. 90% are home-based and 70% of the home-based workers are women. As of 2013, an estimated 2.4 million people reside along the banks of the Ganges alone in Murshidabad district. Severe erosion occurs along the banks.
Note: The two maps present some of the notable locations in the subdivision. All places marked in the maps are linked in the larger full screen maps.
According to the 2011 Census of India, Nimtita had a total population of 2,068, of which 1,011 (49%) were males and 1,057 (50%) were females. Population in the age range 0–6 years was 262. The total number of literate persons in Nimtita was 1,031 (57.09% of the population over 6 years).
Nimtita railway station has the station code NILE. In normal times many trains stopped at this station.
