Basirhat I community development block

Basirhat I is a community development block serving as a local administrative unit in North 24 Parganas district. The area encompasses multiple villages and hamlets that are connected through a network of rural settlements and agricultural lands.

This administrative block was established as part of broader governance reorganization efforts in West Bengal to improve rural administration. The restructuring aimed to strengthen local development initiatives and create more effective community management structures.

The population distribution shows a majority of Islamic followers at 68.54 percent, while Hindu residents constitute 31.24 percent of the community.

The block offers basic healthcare facilities including clinics that provide primary medical services to residents. Visitors should note that this is primarily a rural area where transportation options may be limited.

The region has long been known for substantial rice and jute cultivation that shapes both its landscape and local economy. These traditional crops remain central to the livelihood of farming families who work the fields throughout the year.
