Sagardighi community development block

Sagardighi is a community development block located in Jangipur subdivision that covers flat rural land dotted with villages. Agricultural cultivation dominates the landscape, with paddy, wheat, jute, and potato farming forming the backbone of the local economy.

Archaeological discoveries near Ekani Chandpara provide evidence of human settlement stretching back many thousands of years. These findings reveal that people have inhabited and worked this land for an exceptionally long time.

Bengali and Santali remain the languages spoken in daily life throughout the area. Agricultural fairs serve as gathering points where communities come together for trade and to maintain social bonds.

The area has one rural hospital and several health centers providing basic medical services. The best time to visit is during harvest season, when the fields are actively worked and village life is most visible.

A thermal power station in Sagardighi supplies electricity to surrounding regions and has been expanded multiple times to meet growing energy needs. This industrial facility stands out as a major development in an otherwise agricultural area.
