Kaliganj community development block

Kaliganj community development block is an administrative area in the Krishnanagar Sadar subdivision of West Bengal, covering approximately 320 square kilometers. It consists of 105 inhabited villages with electric power supply available and drinking water access in most places.

This area was the site of the Battle of Plassey in 1757, a key event that established British colonial rule in Bengal. That historical moment changed the region's politics and made it a center of the transformations that would shape India for centuries to come.

The community shows a blend of Hindu and Muslim traditions visible in daily life, local festivals, and the buildings you see around you. Visitors notice this cultural diversity in the various religious sites and in how people share the space here.

The area is well connected and has reliable electric power throughout inhabited sections, making travel safe and straightforward. Water supply is available in most locations, so basic facilities for travelers are assured.

The economy here depends strongly on farming, with many cultivators and agricultural workers shaping the local work landscape. This agricultural focus gives daily life a rhythm that is tied closely to seasons and harvest cycles.
