Araria District: A Gateway to Bihar’s Northern Frontier

Introduction
Araria District, nestled in the northeastern part of Bihar, is a vibrant administrative region carved out of the parent district of Purnia. Spanning an area of 2,830 square kilometers, Araria is bordered by Nepal to the north, Kishanganj to the east, and Supaul to the west. The district headquarters is located in Araria town, which serves as the central hub for governance and development. Strategically positioned, Araria shares a crucial international boundary with Nepal, with Jogbani marking the last point of the district before transitioning into Nepal’s Virat Nagar. This geographical proximity to Nepal adds to Araria’s cultural and economic significance.
