Burdwan division, Administrative division in West Bengal, India
The Burdwan division spans across four districts with diverse landscapes, from rocky terrain in the north to flat alluvial plains in the south.
The region underwent significant transformation after the discovery of coal deposits in the 18th century, leading to extensive industrial development throughout the area.
The division maintains strong religious demographics with 76.26 percent Hindu and 22.51 percent Muslim populations according to the 2011 census data.
The administrative headquarters at Chinsurah manages four districts: Purba Bardhaman, Paschim Bardhaman, Hooghly, and Birbhum, each with distinct subdivisions.
The Eastern Coalfields produce 30 million tonnes of coal annually from the Raniganj Coalfield, supporting major industrial facilities across the division.
