'''Ranaghat Subdivision''' is an administrative subdivision located at [[Nadia district]], in the state of [[West Bengal]], [[India]].741159. The subdivision is administered by SDM/SDO(Ranaghat).

==Overview==
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 Ranaghat subdivision has the [[Hooghly River|Bhagirathi]] on the west, with [[Purba Bardhaman district|Purba Bardhaman]] and [[Hooghly district|Hooghly]] districts lying across the river. Topographically, Ranaghat subdivision is spread across the Krishnanagar-Santipur Plain, which occupies the central part of the district, and the Ranaghat-Chakdaha Plain, the low-lying area found in the south-eastern part of the district. The [[Churni River|Churni]] separates the two plains. The area slopes southwards. A portion of the east forms the boundary with [[Bangladesh]]. The area had large forests. The huge influx of [[East Bengali refugees]] that took place in the district immediately after the [[partition of India]] and the steady influx ever since paved way for conversion of forest into agricultural land.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/DCHB/DCHB_A/19/1910_PART_A_DCHB_NADIA.pdf | title = District Census Handbook, Nadia, 2011, Series 20, Part XII A | work = Pages 13,14 | publisher = Directorate of Census Operations, West Bengal. | access-date = 28 May 2017}}</ref>
