Ratua II community development block

Ratua II encompasses 101.29 square kilometers of territory within the Tal sub-region, marked by low gradients, mud banks, and marshy lands near the Mahananda River.

The region formed part of Pundravardhana during the Gupta Empire and underwent administrative changes when Malda district was established under British administration in 1813.

The population of 202,080 residents includes both Muslim and Hindu communities, who maintain their religious practices while sharing Bengali as their primary language.

The block contains 48 inhabited villages with access to power supply and drinking water, though banking facilities and transport connections remain limited in certain areas.

This administrative region experiences substantial flooding during monsoon seasons due to its location within the Tal area, affecting local agricultural patterns and daily life.
