Swarupnagar community development block

Swarupnagar is an administrative block in Basirhat subdivision containing 66 villages spread across a flat rural landscape with typical agricultural settlements and scattered housing. The block serves as a local governance center providing basic services to its residents through a network of schools, health facilities, and government offices.

The block developed as a rural administrative unit and underwent major changes when migration from the former East Pakistan arrived in the 20th century. This population movement reshaped local community structures and settlement patterns across the region.

Bengali language dominates communication among residents, with 52 percent Hindu and 47 percent Muslim populations maintaining their religious practices and celebrations.

The block provides basic healthcare through clinics and health centers with schools serving children across different grade levels. Electricity is available in inhabited areas, and roads connect the various villages for movement and commerce.

The Ichhamati river flows through the territory, creating a continuous interaction between water and land that shapes the local landscape. The soil composition blends alluvial deposits with black and brownish loam characteristic of the lower Ganges Delta.
