About Noida

Noida was formed on April 19, 1976 and this is celebrated every year as the NOIDA day. It was during the emergency period when Sanjay Gandhi took the initiative to form the city under the UP Industrial Area Development Act. Noida is one of the most modern cities of India with world class amenities and infrastructure. The state legislative seat of Noida falls under NOIDA-Dadri "Vidhan Sabha" region and the Parliamentary seat falls under the Khurja Parliamentary seat.
