Khargram community development block

Khargram is a community development block located in the Kandi subdivision of Murshidabad district in West Bengal. The area spans a rural landscape dotted with numerous villages and settlements connected by roads and waterways.

The block was established during administrative reorganization in the colonial period and has functioned as a rural administrative unit since then. Over time it has evolved from a primarily agricultural focus toward communities with more diverse economic activities.

The population distribution in Khargram shows a religious composition of 54 percent Muslim residents and 45 percent Hindu residents according to census data.

The best times to explore are the drier months when water levels are lower and roads are easier to navigate. Local infrastructure is basic, so traveling with sturdy vehicles and local guides is helpful for getting around.

Multiple ferry services connect communities across local waterways and serve as important transportation links in the region. Traditional silk weaving remains active, showcasing craftsmanship techniques that have been passed down through generations.
