"Janani Janmobhumischa Swargadapi Gariyasi"(Bhagabat Puran). Every Bengali had respect for this quote. They respected the birthplace as a mother. The present work attempts a detailed study of Swadeshi Movement and Swadeshi Initiative in Uttar Dinajpur district with special reference to Raiganj subdivision. Fearing the political activism of the people of Bengal, the then Governor General Lord Curzon planned the partition of Bengal. Lord Curzon wanted to weaken and disperse the people of Bengal politically through the partition of Bengal. When the partition of Bengal took effect on 16 October 1905, a large movement was formed throughout Dinajpur and Bengal. From British products to Government Offices, Courts, School, Colleges, everything were boycotted. The people of Bengal took various Swadeshi Initiative. Raiganj in the undivided Dinajpur district was no exception. Raiganj's renowned lawyer Kuloda Kanta Ghosh led the Anti-Partition of Bengal Movement in the whole of Raiganj. "Arandhan Diwas" was celebrated under the leadership of Kuloda Kanta Ghosh in Raiganj. Swadeshi Banks, Bookstores, Educational Institution, various stores etc. were built on the soil of Raiganj. When the Swadeshi Movement was going on all over Bengal as well as India, the revolutionary educational institution "Raiganj Coronation High School" was established under the chairmanship of the Kuloda Kanta Ghosh. Many students of this school were involved in "Dinajpur Anushilan Samiti". The students of this school have made an undeniable contribution to the Freedom Movement of India.
