Baruipur (community development block)
Baruipur is a community development block that forms an administrative division in Baruipur subdivision of South 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
The Baruipur CD block is located at 22°21′56″N 88°25′57″E / 22.3654432°N 88.4325028°E. It has an average elevation of 9 metres (30 ft).
The Baruipur CD block is bounded by the Sonarpur CD block in the north, the Canning I CD block in the east, the Jaynagar I CD block in the south, the Magrahat II and Bishnupur I CD blocks 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.
The Baruipur CD block has an area of 226.16 km2 (87.32 sq mi). It has 1 panchayat samity, 19 gram panchayats, 307 gram sansads (village councils), 138 mouzas and 122 inhabited villages, as per the District Statistical Handbook, South Twenty-four Parganas. Baruipur police station serves this CD Block. Headquarters of this CD block is at Piyali Town.
