Habibpur community development block, Community development block in Malda Sadar subdivision, India.
Habibpur is a community development block in the Malda Sadar subdivision of West Bengal, comprising numerous villages spread across the landscape. The region features a mix of agricultural land, water bodies, and scattered rural settlements connected by local roads and pathways.
The region sits within the ancient Pundravardhana territory that flourished during the Gupta period and was later controlled by the Sena dynasty. This long history of rule and settlement shaped the cultural identity of the communities living here.
Local residents participate in traditional Bengali festivals throughout the year, maintaining customs through celebrations in the block's numerous village communities.
The best time to visit is during the dry season when roads are most accessible and the landscape is green. Local buses and ferries connect the villages, though travelers should allow extra time for these journeys.
The block sits on the Barind region where elevated ancient alluvial ridges rise above the surrounding lower plains. This geological feature shapes how the land drains and how farming is practiced across the area.
