Kultali (community development block)
Kultali 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 Kultali CD block is located at 22°05′12″N 88°35′37″E / 22.0866°N 88.5937°E. It has an average elevation of 7 metres (23 ft).
The Kultali CD block is bounded by the Jaynagar I and Canning I CD blocks in the north, the Basanti CD block in a part of the east, Sundarbans National Park in parts of the east and south, and the Jaynagar 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.
The Kultali CD block has an area of 306.18 km2. It has 1 panchayat samity, 9 gram panchayats, 120 gram sansads (village councils), 46 mouzas and 43 inhabited villages, as per the District Statistical Handbook, South Twenty-four Parganas. Kultali and Maipith Coastal police stations serve this CD Block. Headquarters of this CD block is at Jamtala.
The Kultali CD block has 191.561 km of embankments. Breaches in these embankments varied from 5 km in 2003-04 to 23.4 km in 2006-07. Embankments raised along rivers are of critical importance for the safety of lives and protection of crops, against daily tides and tidal surges. Technologically the embankment structures are weak and there is need of proper drainage of accumulated rain water through sluice gates. Crude cuts in embankments for drainage of accumulated rain water and channels built for providing water to large fisheries (bheris) also add to the hazards. Cyclones and tropical depressions are regular threats.
Gram panchayats of Kultali CD block/panchayat samiti are: Deulbari Debipur, Gopalganj, Gurguria Bhubaneswari, Jalaberia-I, Jalaberia-II, Kundakhali Godabar, Maipith Baikunthapur, Meriganj-I and Meriganj-II.
According to the 2011 Census of India, the Kultali CD block had a total population of 229,053, all of which were rural. There were 117,562 (51%) males and 111,491 (49%) females. There were 35,727 persons in the age range of 0 to 6 years. The Scheduled Castes numbered 104,193 (45.49%) and the Scheduled Tribes numbered 5,672 (2.48%).
