Ranaghat II community development block

Ranaghat II is a community development block in West Bengal that spreads across flat, river-fed lands. The area encompasses many villages connected by the distributaries of a major river system.

The block was established as an administrative unit within West Bengal's local governance framework. Its boundary with the neighboring country follows a river that serves as a natural dividing line.

Bengali serves as the primary language for 99.21 percent of the population, with Hindus comprising 93.82 percent and Muslims 5.67 percent of residents.

The best time to visit is during the dry season when roads are in good condition and travel becomes easier. The area is well connected by national highways and has basic medical and power infrastructure available.

The region hosts numerous primary schools that provide rural children with access to basic education. Agriculture is the backbone of the local economy, with multiple rice harvests annually and jute cultivation supporting many families.
