Kultali community development block

Kultali is a community development block in the Baruipur subdivision of South 24 Parganas district, covering an extensive rural area. The territory borders the Sundarbans National Park and features agricultural land with scattered settlements.

Archaeological finds along the Piyali River show that people inhabited this region thousands of years ago. The river valley supported the development of settlements that eventually became an administratively organized area.

The community here speaks Bengali and maintains customs shaped by proximity to the Sundarbans region. People blend traditional ways of life with modern community activities across a landscape defined by farming and natural resources.

The block has a rural hospital and several health centers that provide basic medical care for the population. Schools and a college offer educational access for children and students in the local area.

The area is known for honey harvesting from the adjacent forests, a traditional activity that remains an important part of local life today. This work requires courage and skill as collectors operate in wild and unpredictable terrain.
