Nijgadh (Nepali: निजगढ) is a town and municipality in Bara District in the Narayani Zone, Province no. 2 of south-eastern Nepal. The existing Nijgadh VDC was merged with the existing Ratnapuri VDC and Bharatganj Singaul VDC in May 2014.[1] [2] [3]

At the time of the 2011 Nepal Census, Nijgadh had a population of 19,617 persons (9,528 male and 10,089 female) living in 3,982 individual households.[4]

The town has been targeted as a site for an international airport that could handle 15 million passengers and even accommodate the super-jumbo Airbus A380 after the first phase of construction. As of April 2011, a feasibility study of the report was completed. The report stated that the airport would cover 3,000 hectares of land: 2,000 hectares for airport and the remaining 1,000 for the airport city. The Nijgadh Municipality is now developed better than that of the past years. Now, the electricity, drinking water, health post and all other sorts of infrastructures are available in the Nijgadh. People from different places of the Nepal are migrating to Nijgadh to seek the opportunity here.[5]
