Madhyamgram

Madhyamgram is a city and municipality in the North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, India, within the area covered by the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority. It lies on the north Bidyadhari Plain of the lower Ganges Delta, a flat country raised a little above flood level. The narrow Noai Canal, which now marks the border with New Barrackpore, was once a wide river called Labanyabati, and the area was a large paddy growing district that sent produce by boat and was known for fine embroidery admired in Delhi and Bombay. The climate is tropical like the rest of Gangetic West Bengal, with a monsoon from early June to mid September. The 2011 Census of India recorded 196,127 residents, and the municipality belongs to the Kolkata Urban Agglomeration.
