Geography[edit]
Sampurna Nagar is about 12 hours from Delhi by car or train and can be reached from Lucknow by meter gauge trains in about 5 hours. The city is close to the Nepal border, with the Nepali town of Dhangadhi about 25 kilometres (16 mi) by road. There are several schools and colleges in the city, including the Public Inter College (PIC), Kanya Junior School, and Indira Shiksha Niketan.
The river Sharda flows near the city, sometimes causing severe flooding in the city and surrounding areas. Floods are widespread during rainfall. The floods severely affect sugarcane cultivation: the main occupation of farmers in and around the city.
The accessibility of the city is affected by floods which affect the roads connecting the city to Puranpur and Palia Kalan. Train services from Mailani to Palia Kalan are also affected.
