History


Bhadreswar Municipality was established in 1869.[1]



Geography


Bhadreswar Municipality covers an area of 8.28 sq km and has a total population of 101,477 (2011).[2]


In 1981, 29.61% of the total population formed main workers and 70.30% were non-workers in Bhadreswar Municipality and 76.75% 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]

There are around 46 schools (including municipality schools) in Bhadreswar municipal area. There are a number of schools with facilities for teaching in the Hindi-medium, as for example Telenipara MG Vidyapith, Jawaharlal Nehru Vidyapith, Adarsha Chhatra Sanga Pathsala, Paikpara Sarvoday Vidyamandir, Sree Hanuman Primary School, Victoria Hindi Primary School, etc. Amongst the Urdu-medium schools are: Faiz Ahmed Faiz Urdu High School, Madrasa Mohmmadia Arabia, Jawaharlal Nehru Vidyapith, Madrasah Rizia Habibia, Mohsin Primary School, Muzaffar Ahmed GSFP Primary School, Quasemul Uloom Primary School etc. Andhra Bharatiya Prathamika Vidyalayam is a Telegu-medium school.
