District human development report: North 24 Parganas [1]

The district human development report of North 24 Parganas portrays the diverse features of this district and also depicts the multilayered development that has taken place, over the past five to six decades. Burgeoning urbanisation and very presence of the Sunderbans open up a rare opportunity to the policy makers and practitioners of development of further study the intrinsic nature of
North 24 Parganas and find out new initiatives. Despite having the IT Hub of the Eastern Region located within its boundaries, it has a high rate of industrial disputes to settle. Rise in income and purchasing power in the ever-spreading urban areas is matched by acute distress in the rural areas (nearly 30% of rural households) and severe mal-nutrition in the slums.
