Jangipur subdivision is crowded with 52census towns and as such it had to be presented in two location maps. One of the maps can be seen alongside. The subdivision is located in theRarh region that is spread over from adjoiningSanthal Pargana division ofJharkhand. The land is slightly higher in altitude than the surrounding plains and is gently undulating.[1][2] The riverGanges, along with its distributaries, is prominent in both the maps. At the head of the subdivision is the 2,245 m longFarakka Barrage, one of the largest projects of its kind in the country.[3] Murshidabad district shares with Bangladesh a porous international border which is notoriously crime prone (partly shown in this map).[4] The subdivision has two large power plants - the 2,100 MWFarakka Super Thermal Power Station and the 1,600 MWSagardighi Thermal Power Station.[5][6] According to a 2016 report, there are around 1,000,000 (1 million/ ten lakh) workers engaged in thebeedi industry in Jangipur subdivision. 90% are home-based and 70% of the home-based workers are women.[7][8][9] As of 2013, an estimated 2.4 million people reside along the banks of theGanges alone in Murshidabad district.Severe erosion occurs along the banks.[10]
