Balurghat community development block, Administrative division in Balurghat subdivision, India.
Balurghat is an administrative division in Balurghat subdivision in West Bengal that covers hundreds of square kilometers. It consists of numerous villages organized within multiple local administrative units.
The area took its current administrative form in the 1960s when national development programs created new administrative divisions. This structural change shaped how the region has been organized and managed since then.
The area is predominantly Bengali-speaking, with different communities living together and maintaining local traditions. Residents have developed their own ways of coexisting and passing down their customs.
Medical services are provided through a rural hospital and several primary health centers distributed across the villages. Most everyday health needs are served by these local facilities rather than distant urban centers.
The region's agriculture is heavily focused on rice farming, with special irrigation systems used across many villages. These irrigated fields support two harvests each year and are central to how most residents live.
