Dinhata I community development block

Dinhata I is an administrative block spanning a large rural area with more than 100 villages dispersed across the landscape. The territory includes primary schools, health clinics, and utility infrastructure serving the local population.

The block was established as an administrative division within the former Cooch Behar princely state during the British colonial period. The territory had been inhabited and governed by local rulers long before becoming part of the colonial administration.

Bengali is the primary language spoken throughout the villages, and residents practice different faiths that shape daily customs and celebrations. You will notice how both communities have contributed to the local way of living.

The area is accessible by road, though travel requires patience since it is a rural region with village routes. Visiting individual villages gives you a better sense of daily life and local conditions across the block.

Fishing and rice cultivation are woven into the daily economy, providing livelihoods for many families across the villages. These activities depend heavily on the river systems and seasonal patterns that define the landscape.
