Raiganj community development block

Raiganj community development block is an administrative unit in West Bengal spanning several hundred square kilometers across more than 200 villages. The region has electrical infrastructure and farmland that form the backbone of the local economy.

This administrative unit was created in 1992 as part of a reorganization of local governance structures in West Bengal. Its formation was part of a broader process to decentralize administration and improve local management across the state.

The block reflects the diversity of its residents, with people from different social backgrounds living and working together across the villages. This mixture shapes daily life and the relationships that form within rural communities.

The area is accessible through various transport connections, including bus routes and ferry services that link villages and settlements. Multiple transportation options make it possible to travel through different parts of the region.

The region is managed through a system of village councils that handle local affairs directly, involving communities in decisions that affect them. This decentralized approach allows each village to set its own priorities.
