Tufanganj II community development block, Administrative block in Tufanganj subdivision, India.
Tufanganj II is an administrative block in Cooch Behar district that covers rural areas with numerous villages spread across the region. The block is served by local government institutions, primary schools, a health center, and road and ferry connections linking communities together.
This region formed part of the Cooch Behar principality ruled by the Koch dynasty before coming under colonial administration. That connection shaped the local governance structure that remains in place today.
The population of 186,726 residents communicates primarily in Bengali and Rajbongshi languages, with distinct social groups including scheduled castes and tribes.
The block is best explored using local transport options like buses and ferries that connect the various communities. It helps to be flexible with timing and to ask locals for directions, as this is rural territory with limited signage.
Fish farming is a significant economic activity here that relies on the natural river systems flowing through the territory. The practice supports both local nutrition and livelihoods in ways that visitors can observe directly.
