Raghunathganj I community development block

Raghunathganj I is an administrative block in Murshidabad district that covers a flat agricultural landscape in the Rarh region. The block includes several smaller towns and settlements connected by roads, ferries, and bus services.

The area underwent major land reforms in the 1970s that changed how agricultural land was owned and managed. These changes had lasting effects on how farming communities were organized.

The communities here live alongside each other, with both Muslim and Hindu families forming the social fabric of daily life. You can see this diversity reflected in the local customs and how people interact in the streets and markets.

The block is served by ferry services and regular bus routes that connect towns and villages throughout the area. Plan your visit during drier months when local roads are easier to navigate.

Small household industries are scattered throughout the area, producing textiles and other goods alongside farming. These workshops are an important part of how families earn their living here.
