Samserganj community development block

Samserganj is an administrative block in Jangipur subdivision that encompasses multiple villages and smaller settlements shaped by agriculture and local communities. The region has basic infrastructure and is connected by important transportation links to other areas.

The block was established as part of administrative reforms to strengthen local governance and development in rural West Bengal. This structure was part of broader efforts by the Indian government to improve community-level governance.

The Nimtita Rajbari palace here became known through films by director Satyajit Ray and shapes the cultural character of the place. Visitors can experience the historical architecture of this palace, which reflects the artistic heritage of the region.

National Highway 12 connects the area to major routes, and the Barharwa-Azimganj-Katwa railway line offers train connections to neighboring districts. It is helpful to learn about local conditions before visiting, particularly regarding water safety in the area.

The area is known for two primary health centers offering medical care, yet the region struggles with natural arsenic contamination of groundwater. This invisible challenge receives less attention than it deserves, even though it directly affects daily life for residents.
