Diamond Harbour I community development block

Diamond Harbour I community development block extends across an administrative area situated at 8 meters above sea level along the Hooghly River banks.

The establishment of this community development block followed India's 1952 rural development initiative, which aimed to coordinate multiple agencies under unified administration.

The block implements the Panchayati Raj system through elected representatives who manage local affairs and preserve Bengali traditions through community gatherings.

The block development officer coordinates agricultural support, healthcare services, and educational programs for a population of 83,754 residents recorded in 2011.

Within the block, 34.17 percent of workers engage in agricultural labor, cultivating Aman paddy, Boro paddy, wheat, jute, and potatoes through multiple cropping methods.
