Chandrakona II community development block

Chandrakona II is a community development block in Ghatal subdivision with low-lying land crossed by rivers and fed by fertile alluvial soil. The area contains 86 village councils managing 122 inhabited villages across the region.

The block underwent major land reforms starting in 1977 that fundamentally changed property ownership and farming methods across the region. These shifts influenced how people gained access to land and shaped rural livelihoods for generations.

The population of 123,269 residents includes 78.22 percent Hindu practitioners and 20.64 percent Muslim followers, with Bengali serving as the primary language.

Medical services are provided through rural hospitals and primary health centers spread across the villages in the area. This is a rural administrative region, so basic infrastructure follows the patterns common in countryside communities.

Most of the workforce here depends on farming, with rice varieties like Aman and Boro along with potatoes being the main crops grown in the rich soil. This agricultural focus shapes the daily pace and seasonal rhythms of life in the area.
