Alipurduar's name originates from Colonel Hedayat Ali Khan, a British officer who fought in the 1865 [[Duar War|Bhutan War]] and was stationed there, combined with "Duar" (or Door), representing its role as a gateway to the Dooars region of the Himalayas.<ref><https://www.east-himalaya.com/alipurduar.php#:~:text=The%20name%20Alipurduar%20reflects%20both,the%20name%20remains%20perfectly%20accurate.</ref>

State Agricultural Management & Extension Training Institute (SAMETI) from [[Narendrapur]], proposed the GI registration of Kalonunia rice. After filing the application in March 2021, the rice was granted the GI tag in 2024 by the Geographical Indication Registry in [[Chennai]], making the name "Kalonunia rice" exclusive to the rice grown in the region.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title=Kalonunia Rice |url=https://search.ipindia.gov.in/GIRPublic/Application/Details/743 |website=Intellectual Property India |access-date=23 November 2024}}</ref> It thus became the third rice variety from West Bengal after [[Tulaipanji rice]] and the 26th type of goods from West Bengal to earn the GI tag.{{fact|date=May 2025}}

The GI tag protects the rice from illegal selling and marketing, and gives it legal protection and a unique identity.{{fact|date=May 2025}}
