==History==
Under the [[British Raj]], [[Patna]] gradually started to attain its lost glory and emerged as an important and strategic centre of learning and trade in India. When the [[Bengal Presidency]] was partitioned in 1912 to carve out a separate province, [[Patna]] was made the capital of the new province of [[Bihar and Orissa Province|Bihar and Orissa]].<ref>[http://www.iloveindia.com/states/bihar/history.html Bihar History] ''iloveindia.com''</ref> The city limits were stretched westwards to accommodate the administrative base, and the township of [[Bankipore]] took shape along the Bailey Road (originally spelt as Bayley Road, after the first [[List of Governors of Bihar and Orissa|Lt. Governor of Bihar and Orissa]], [[Steuart Bayley|Sir Steuart Colvin Bayley]]). This area was called the New Capital Area.
