Kaliachak III community development block

Kaliachak III is an administrative community development block in Malda Sadar subdivision, West Bengal. The area spans flat terrain formed by ancient river deposits and contains numerous villages with access to roads, electricity, and basic services.

The region served as a trading center during the Sena Dynasty before falling under Mughal rule in 1576. This transition reshaped the area's settlement patterns and economic structure.

Bengali is spoken by nearly all residents, and the community reflects deep-rooted Islamic and Hindu traditions visible in local customs and daily practices.

The block is well-connected by roads and villages receive electrical supply for basic utilities. Medical care is available through one main hospital and two primary health centers serving the population.

A significant portion of the workforce engages in household-based craft production, keeping traditional manufacturing methods alive. Agricultural work with paddy, wheat, and jute remains central to many families' livelihoods.
