Harirampur community development block

Harirampur is an administrative block in Gangarampur subdivision with mostly flat terrain and gentle undulations across its landscape. The area contains numerous villages, schools, and a rural hospital that serve the local population.

The block was established during the Community Development Programme of 1960, following the reorganization of West Dinajpur district after India's independence and partition. Its administrative structure reflects the changes that reshaped the region during that period.

The population of 136,853 residents includes a balanced mix of Hindu and Muslim communities, with Bengali and Santali as primary languages.

The area is dotted with villages and has basic services including a hospital and schools throughout the block. Visitors should expect rural infrastructure and transportation typical of agricultural regions.

The local economy relies heavily on seasonal crops irrigated by water from ponds and groundwater sources. This water management system shapes the work rhythm and daily life throughout the region.
