Ratua I community development block

Ratua I covers 225 square kilometers in the Tal region of West Bengal, featuring marshes, lakes, and agricultural lands across its territory.

The region belonged to the ancient Pundravardhana division during the Gupta Empire before Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khalji conquered it in 1205.

Bengali serves as the primary language for 98 percent of residents, with Islam representing 67 percent of the religious demographics in the block.

The development block maintains power supply infrastructure to all inhabited villages while providing drinking water access to the local population.

Agricultural laborers constitute nearly half of the workforce, cultivating rice, wheat, and jute in the fertile alluvial soils of the region.
