Haldia community development block

Haldia community development block is an administrative area within Haldia subdivision in Purba Medinipur district, situated on flat terrain in West Bengal. The block contains settlements, farmland, and schools that form the basic structure of this rural region.

The region was originally named Sutahata II block before taking its current form. Port development beginning in 1977 brought industrial changes that shaped the local economy.

The area maintains strong Bengali traditions visible in local customs and daily life throughout the villages and settlements. Religious diversity reflects the community's mixed composition.

The block is served by multiple schools at different levels, showing the availability of educational facilities across the area. The flat topography makes exploration by foot or bicycle relatively easy.

The region's agriculture centers heavily on rice cultivation, with two harvests possible each year. This double harvest pattern shapes the economic rhythm and seasonal work of local farming communities.
