The Old Malda administrative block spreads across 112 villages in West Bengal, providing essential services to a population of 156,365 residents in rural and urban areas.

Before becoming a district in 1813, the Malda region incorporated territories from Purnia, Dinajpur, and Rajshahi, establishing its treasury operations in 1832.

Religious practices in Old Malda reflect a diverse composition with Hinduism at 70 percent of the population, Islam at 28.6 percent, and Christianity at 0.79 percent.

National Highway 12 connects the block while public transportation includes four bus routes and ferry services across multiple points for resident mobility.

Agricultural activities in Old Malda operate under specific limitations regarding tube well usage, resulting in predominantly single-crop farming patterns.
