Bhangar II community development block

The Bhangar II community development block extends across 162.04 square kilometers, containing 60 inhabited villages and 10 gram panchayats within South 24 Parganas district.

The establishment of this block represents a significant step in the decentralization of governance through the implementation of community development programs in West Bengal.

Bengali serves as the primary language for 99.69 percent of the population, with the demographic distribution showing 70.49 percent Muslims and 29.26 percent Hindus.

The block maintains one rural hospital and two primary health centers, providing essential medical services to a population of 246,708 residents across its territory.

Agricultural activities dominate the local economy with rice and jute cultivation, despite challenges from saline soil conditions that affect crop production patterns.
