Haripal community development block, Administrative region in Chandannagar subdivision, India.
Haripal is an administrative block in Chandannagar subdivision in West Bengal, India. The region consists of many villages spread across the district, managed through local governance structures and centered around farming and rural livelihoods.
The region was a site of the 1946 Tebhaga movement, which sought to improve land rights for farming families. This movement left a lasting mark on the local understanding of rural history and worker rights.
The area contains multiple religious structures, including the Dwarika Chandi temple from 1126 and the Radha-Govinda temple constructed in 1654.
A hospital with beds and several health centers provide medical care for residents across the block. Regular bus services connect the villages to nearby towns and market areas for trade and supplies.
Large areas of land are dedicated to fish farming, which supplements local food production alongside rice and potato cultivation. This aquaculture activity shapes the landscape and supports the regional economy in a notable way.
