'''Srirampore subdivision''' is an administrative subdivision of the [[Hooghly district]] in the state of [[West Bengal]], India.

==Overview==
Srirampore subdivision is the most urbanised, and the one with the highest density of population, of all the subdivisions of Hooghly district. Urbanisation started with industrialisation of the Hooghly Flats, the narrow strip of land along the [[Hooghly River|Hooghly]] and spread inland covering a large portion of Hooghly-Damodar Plain, the agriculturally rich [[alluvium|alluvial]] plains lying between the Hooghly and the [[Damodar River|Damodar]]. The entire area is a part of the [[Ganges Delta|Gangetic Delta]]. The Hooghly is a tidal river and has a high west bank. The spread of urbanisation obviously affected the livelihood of the people, with a high proportion of workers being engaged in non-agricultural pursuits.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/DCHB/DCHB_A/19/1912_PART_A_DCHB_HUGLI.pdf |title = District Census Handbook: Hugli, Series-20, Part XIIA | work= Physiography, Page 17-24|publisher= Directorate of Census Operations, West Bengal, 2011 | access-date = 19 June 2017 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.wbplan.gov.in/HumanDev/DHDR/DHDR_Hooghly.pdf |title = District Human Development Report: Hooghly |work = Occupational break-up of the working people , page 57 | publisher= Development and Planning Department, Government of West Bengal, 2011 | access-date = 14 June 2017}}</ref>
