Narayangarh community development block

Narayangarh community development block is an administrative unit in the Kharagpur subdivision that spans a large area with many rivers and tidal creeks running through it. The terrain sits at low elevation and contains several hundred settlements connected by roads and railway connections.

The block developed as part of the British administrative structure during colonial times in the region. Local rulers called the Kaibartta Rajas held control of the Narayangarh estate and were involved in conflicts during the 18th century.

The population of 302,620 residents includes a majority of Hindu practitioners at 93.79 percent and Muslim communities at 5.23 percent.

The block is well connected by railway stations and road networks spanning across multiple settlements. The dry season offers the best conditions for travel and exploring the area, as waterlogged regions become more accessible after the monsoon rains.

The region maintains a monotonous rice plain where 90 percent of cultivated areas consist of alluvial soil suitable for agricultural activities.
