Tehatta subdivision is an administrative subdivision of theNadia district in the state ofWest Bengal,India.
Nadia district is part of the large alluvial plain formed by the Ganges-Bhagirathi system. The plains spread southwards from the head of the delta. The Tehatta subdivision is topographically part of the Nadia Plain North. TheJalangi River forms the district/ subdivision border in the north-western part and then flows through the subdivision. The other important rivers are Mathabhanga and Bhairab. The subdivision slopes in a south-easterly direction and on the east has a long boundary withBangladesh. The area had large forests. The huge influx ofEast Bengali refugees that took place in the district immediately after thepartition of India and the steady influx ever since paved way for conversion of forest into agricultural land.[1]
