Raunija is a newly developed town in newly formed district Gautam Budh Nagar in Uttar Pradesh}}

History
Long ago there was a scarcity of water in Jaislmer, Rajasthan. The successor of Royal Bhati King family of Jaislmer discussed the issue with the people of his kingdom. At the dawn of discussion, everybody felt to leave the place in search of water. The royal family along with kingdom people left the Jaislmer and started their journey in search of water. After traveling for many days, they found a patch of greenery in the vicinity of River Yamuna. The royal family lad asked his people to stay there. They had a halt there and constructed houses for their shelter and cultivated the dry land by using river Yamuna's water. This is how the foundation of village cum town took place. The villagers asked the king to name the village. The Successor of Royal Bhati King family named the newly formed village as Raunija. This is the interesting story of the name of the town. Presently it is very costly place in Gautam Budh Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh. India's first formula track (Budh Circuit) is 5km away from this royal village cum town. Uttar Pradesh's former chief minister Mayawati's ancestral village is also very close to this place. Yamuna Expressway developed by Jaypee Group is just touching this village cum town. In 90s, the literacy rate of the village was very low. But in after 2004, it geared up due to one role model THAKUR SUDESH RAUNIJA who became the first engineer of the village and later the first scientist of INDIAN SPACE RESEARCH ORGANISATION from the village. At present, hundreds of lad are doing engineering, medicine, science, etc.
