Mathurapur I is a community development block in Diamond Harbour subdivision comprising 91 villages connected by road networks and spread across a flat, rural landscape. The area includes agricultural lands, residential settlements, schools, health centers, and electrical infrastructure serving the local population.
The block was created through administrative reorganization in West Bengal to improve local governance and establish structured service delivery across rural regions. This reorganization strengthened coordination between villages and central authorities.
The population of 195,104 residents maintains Bengali traditions with a demographic composition of 59 percent Hindu and 40 percent Muslim communities.
The block is well connected through road networks to neighboring regions, making travel between villages and to services convenient. Visitors should prepare for the rural nature of the area and plan visits around agricultural seasons to observe daily activities.
The area relies heavily on farming, with roughly 37 percent of the workforce employed as agricultural laborers. This dependence is complicated by challenging conditions such as saline soil, which presents ongoing difficulties for farmers.
