Rajarhat community development block

Rajarhat is a community development block within the Barasat Sadar subdivision in North 24 Parganas district, West Bengal. The administrative area encompasses multiple settlements where rural and urban communities coexist and interact.

The area transformed from an agricultural region into a structured administrative block responsible for local governance and public services. This shift enabled better coordination of development initiatives and resource management for the resident population.

The population of 189,893 residents represents a demographic mix with Hinduism at 59.41 percent and Islam at 39.90 percent of the total inhabitants.

The Block Development Office in New Town serves as the main point for administrative matters and public documentation. Visiting during regular office hours on weekdays is advisable for handling administrative requests efficiently.

Despite its rural origins, the block has shifted toward non-agricultural employment for the majority of its workforce. This economic transition demonstrates how the area has evolved from farming-focused roots into a more modern employment hub.
