Diamond Harbour I
Community Development Block in West Bengal, India
Diamond Harbour I is a community development block that forms an administrative division in Diamond Harbour subdivision of South 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
Geography
The Diamond Harbour I CD block is located at 22°11′28″N 88°11′26″E. It has an average elevation of 8 metres (26 ft).
The Diamond Harbour I CD block is bounded by the Falta CD block in the north, the Magrahat I CD block in the east, the Kulpi CD block and the Sutahata CD block in the Purba Medinipur district, across the Hooghly, in the south, the Diamond Harbour II CD block in the west.
The South 24 Parganas district is divided into two distinct physiographic zones: the marine-riverine delta in the north and the marine delta zone in the south. As the sea receded southwards, in the sub-recent geological period, a large low-lying plain got exposed. Both tidal inflows and the rivers have been depositing sediments in this plain. The periodical collapse of both the natural levees and man-made embankments speed up the process of filling up of the depressions containing brackish water wetlands. The marine delta in the south is formed of interlacing tidal channels. As non-saline water for irrigation is scarce, agriculture is monsoon dominated. Some parts of the wetlands are still preserved for raising fish.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Diamond Harbour I” as community Development Block in West Bengal, India. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as community Development Block in West Bengal, India. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5270810. Authority coordinates are 22.191, 88.190. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
