Kolaghat community development block

Kolaghat Community Development Block is an administrative region in West Bengal that encompasses 106 villages across approximately 147 square kilometers. The area lies at a low elevation and includes schools at various levels along with engineering colleges serving the local population.

This administrative region was created in 2011 when the state reorganized its boundaries and separated from the former Panskura II Block. The change was part of broader administrative reforms in West Bengal.

Bengali is spoken by most residents, and you will notice Hindu temples and Muslim gatherings throughout the villages. The local celebrations and daily customs reflect these two main faiths.

The region is low-lying and flat, so visitors should expect wet and humid conditions. Schools and colleges are scattered throughout the villages and generally accessible to those interested in local education facilities.

A thermal power station with six units generates electricity for a large area and is one of the major power facilities operated by the state. This facility plays a significant role in the region's economy and energy production.
