Salboni community development block

Salboni is a community development block in the Medinipur Sadar subdivision of West Bengal, covering a large rural area. The block sits at low elevation and consists mainly of agricultural land with scattered villages and farming settlements.

This block was once part of a region facing significant security challenges and was later reorganized as an administrative zone focused on development. The transformation took place in the years following 2008 and marked a shift toward building local infrastructure.

Different communities live side by side in this rural area, each with their own language and traditions. Bengali is widely spoken, but you will also hear Santali and other languages in daily conversations.

The block is best reached by road, with local transportation options connecting to nearby towns. Visit during dry months when roads are in better condition and travel is more comfortable.

The block houses a currency printing facility operated by India's central bank. This facility produces currency notes that circulate across the entire country, bringing a major national infrastructure project to a rural area.
