District Profile

Paschim Medinipur, located in the south-western part of West Bengal, was created with the partition of

the erstwhile Midnapore district, then the largest district of India, on 1 January 2002. It ranks second in

terms of geographical area (6308 km2) amongst the districts of the state, next to South 24-Parganas

The District lies between 21.46° and 22.57 ° North Latitude and 86.33° and87.44° East Longitude.

Paschim Mednipur District shares boundary with Hooghly and \ Bankura District in the North, State of

Odihsa in the South, Purba Mednipur Howrah and Hooghly District in East and Jhargram and Bankura

District in the West.

There are two natural divisions of the district. . To the east of NH 14 and NH 16 (old numbering NH

60) from Bankura to Balasore, the soil is fertile alluvial and the area is flat. To the west, the Chota

Nagpur Plateau gradually slopes down creating an undulating area with infertile literate rocks and soil.

The landscape changes from dense dry deciduous forests in the west to marshy wetlands in the east.

The alluvial portion may be further subdivided into two divisions. First, it is a strip of purely deltaic

country nearer to the Hooghly and the Rupnarayan, intersected by numerous rivers and watercourses

subject to tidal influences. Second, it is rest of the eastern half of the district. It is monotonous rice plain

with numerous waterways and tidal creeks intersecting it.

A. District Administrative Set-up:

The district comprises three subdivisions: Medinipur Sadar, Kharagpur and Ghatal

Kharagpur Sub Division consists of Kharagpur municipality and ten community development Blocks:

Dantan–I, Dantan–II, Pingla, Kharagpur–I, Kharagpur–II, Sabang, Mohanpur, Narayangarh, Keshiary

and Debra.

Medinipur Sadar Sub Division consists of Midnapore Municipality and six community Development

blocks: Medinipur Sadar, Garhbeta–I, Garhbeta–II, Garhbeta–III, Keshpur and Salboni.

Ghatal Sub Division consists of five municipalities (Ramjibanpur, Chandrakona, Khirpai, Kharar and

Ghatal) and five community development blocks: Chandrakona–I, Chandrakona–II, Daspur–I, Daspur–

II and Ghatal.

Midnapore is the district headquarter of the District.

There are 21Police stations, 21 Development blocks, 7 municipalities and 210 gram panchayats in this

district.

Geography of Paschim Medinipur District

The district has an area of 630800chectares. Out of this the total forest area is 173038 hectares which

constitutes about 18.61 percent of its total geographical area. Net area under cultivation is 5, 85, 222

hectares. The climate is tropical and the land surface of the district is characterised by hard rock

uplands, lateritic covered area, and flat alluvial and deltaic plains. Extremely rugged topography is seen

in the western part of the district and rolling topography is experienced consisting of lateritic covered

area. These rolling plains gradually merge into flat alluvial and deltaic plains to the east and south east

of the district. The soil is fairly fertile. Normal rainfall is 1560 mm and average rainfall in the district is

1656mm.

The climate is characterized by hot summer, cold winter, abundant rainfall and humidity from 1450 mm

to 1560 mm per year. Kangsabati, Silabati, Subarnarekha, Dulongs, Keleghai and their tributaries are

the main rivers of the district. Irrigation is provided to both kharif and rabi crops. Kangsabati canal

system is the main irrigation scheme. Ground water supports supplementary irrigation. 63 percent of the

net cultivable area is irrigated. The ground water development and judicious management of the surface

water are vital factors for promoting modern agriculture through high yielding and remunerative crops,

particularly in the western parts of the district.

C. Natural Resources-

Kangshbati (also known as Kansai) and Shilabati (also known as Shilai) are two major rivers of the

District.

After entering into the District, Kangshabati river splits into two. The northern branch flows through the

Daspur area as Palarpai and joins the Rupnarayan River. The other branch flows in a south-easterly

direction and on joining the Kaliaghai River forms the Haldi River, which flows into the Bay of

Bengal at Haldia.

Another major river of the district Shilabatihas three tributaries in the District-Kulbai, Tamal and

Parang. Kulbai joins with Tamal near Mugbasan and the confluence of these two rivers joins with Shilai

near Narajole. Flowing through the South-Westerly directions, Shilabati joins

the Dwarakeswar near Ghatal and afterwards is known as Rupnarayan. It finally joins the Hooghly

River, which empties into the Bay of Bengal.

F. Climate

Paschim Medinipur district is subject to both floods and drought. Ghatal and parts of Kharagpur

subdivision covering an area of 142,647 hectares (1,426.47 km2) are flood prone. Water logging during

the rainy season affects Ghatal and the southern parts of Kharagpur Sub-division and results in loss of

crops in such areas as Sabang, Pingla and Narayangarh CD Blocks.335,248 hectares (3,352.48 km2)

Medinipur Sadar subdivision is drought prone. Although the district is away from the sea, cyclones hit it

frequently in October–November.[1]

The climate follows a hot tropical monsoon weather pattern. Summers last from April to mid-June with

diurnal highs ranging from the upper 30s°C to the mid 40s°C and lows in the low 30s°C. Daily heat is

often followed by evening rains known as kalboishakhis or dust-storms (loo). Monsoon rains can last

from mid-June to late August or even September with rains from the southeast monsoon contributing

the lion's share of the annual rainfall of around 1500 mm. Winters last for 2 to 3 months and are mild;

typical lows are from 8 °C – 14 °C
