Sagrai

GEOGRAPHY :- Sagrai is at an average elevation of 35 meters. It lies to the north of the Damodar River, on the alluvial plains between the Damodar and the Dwarakeswar rivers. As a result, it has been a flood-prone area. Sagrai is 18 km from Khandaghosh and 12 km from Burdwan sadar town. Most of the village falls on the East side of the Burdwan—Arambag Road.


ECONOMY :- Similar to any other village of south-east Burdwan, this is also agriculture based. After land reform in west Bengal the agricultural lands were distributed here also from the big land lords. Though there are few family where large area of lands are still accumulated but there are many family who have small amount of agricultural lands. In the last two decades because of the open market economy all over India has increased the cost of farming largely. Now agriculture is no more profitable business for the small farmers. Few middle-class or upper-middle-class family members are engaged in rice related business. There are peoples engaged in self owned business and in government service in different sectors.

HEALTH :- After long years of independence there is no public health system in this village. as this village is well connected with the district headquarters and its district hospital and private hospital people has not suffered too much. Apart from that though there is scarcity of expert medical practitioner in this village there are a few numbers of private pharmacy and elementary practitioners who serves in minor cases.


ADMINISTRATION :- The village Sagrai is in the Sagrai Gram Pachayet. The Panchayet office is located at Badulia. The Block Development Office is 500m from the Sagrai bus stop. .
