Geography
Bansberia Municipality covers an area of 9.072 sq km and has a total population of 103,799 (2011).[2]
In 1981, 32.39% of the total population formed main workers and 67.61% were non-workers in Bansberia Municipality and 57.97% of the total main workers were industrial workers. This may be interpreted as follows: although industrial activities are prominent in the municipal areas of the region, the major portion of the population is commuters and migrants find employment in the area.[3]
