Because of its location between the Ganges River and the [[Koshi River]], Naugachhia is completely encircled by water on both of its sides. Yellow maize is one of its most well-known exports and a primary source of revenue. In addition to this, it is also frequently referred to as the "Kelanchal of Bihar"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.makemytrip.com/tripideas/attractions/naugachhia|title=Naugachhia The Banana City of Bihar=www.makemytrip.com}}</ref> (producer of bananas). Since the construction of the ring dam on two of its borders, Naugachhia no longer has to worry about being flooded as regularly as it did before the dam was erected. Because much of Bhagalpur's economic activity takes place in Naugachhia and the city does not have a railway line, the only method to get from Bhagalpur to NH 31 is by crossing the Vikramshila Bridge. This bridge is located between the two cities. Due to construction of the Ring dam <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.livehindustan.com/bihar/bhagalpur/story-bhagalpur-farmers-will-give-land-for-ring-dam-construction-in-navagachia-1906797.html|title=नवगछिया में रिंग बांध के निर्माण के लिए जमीन देंगे किसान=www.livehindustan.com| date=16 April 2018 |accessdate=2018-04-16}}</ref>, flood is no longer a problem for Naugachhia.

Geography
Naugachhia comes under Anga region[3]. People of Naugachhia always want that Naugachhia should be declared as Naugachhia District[4] because it fulfills all the criteria including population ratio and land area. Because of its location between the Ganges River and the Koshi River, Naugachhia is completely encircled by water on both of its sides. Yellow maize is one of its most well-known exports and a primary source of revenue. In addition to this, it is also frequently referred to as the "Kelanchal of Bihar"[5] (producer of bananas). Since the construction of the ring dam on two of its borders, Naugachhia no longer has to worry about being flooded as regularly as it did before the dam was erected. Because much of Bhagalpur's economic activity takes place in Naugachhia and the city does not have a railway line, the only method to get from Bhagalpur to NH 31 is by crossing the Vikramshila Bridge. This bridge is located between the two cities. Due to construction of the Ring dam [6], flood is no longer a problem for Naugachhia. Naugachhia is the heart of Bhagalpur, because Vikaramshila Bridge starts from Naugachhia on Ganga River.
