Subhashgram

Subhasgram has a legacy of rich history starting from the early years of British rule in Bengal. Subhasgram, named in honour of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, was earlier known as Changripota. Modern day Subasgram encompasses the localities of Changripota, Kodalia, parts of Harinavi and Chanditala.

Subhasgram has been the home of numerous personalities, engaged either in social reform movements during the period of Bengal Renaissance or the Independence movement. Subhasgram houses the ancestral home of Dwarkanath Vidyabhsan and is also the birth place of Ramnarayan Tarkaratna, Shivnath Sastri and M.N. Roy. The ancestral houses of Sarat Chandra Bose and Subhash Chandra Bose are at Kodalia. Both of them were members of the first 24 Parganas District Committee of the Congress Party, which was formed in 1921.{{cite web | url = http://wbplan.gov.in/HumanDev/DHDR/24%20pgsSouth/s24prg_main.htm | title = District Human Development Report: South 24 Parganas |work= Page 7, Chapter I: South 24 Parganas: An overview| publisher = Department of Planning and Statistics, Government of West Bengal |access-date = 15 December 2019|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161005044029/http://wbplan.gov.in/HumanDev/DHDR/24%20pgsSouth/s24prg_main.htm | archive-date = 5 October 2016 | url-status = dead }}

With the electrification of the railways, suburban traffic has grown tremendously since the 1960s. As of 2005-06, more than 1.7 million (17 lakhs) commuters use the Kolkata Suburban Railway system daily. After the partition of India, refugees from erstwhile East Pakistan and Bangladesh had a strong impact on the development of urban areas in the periphery of Kolkata. The new immigrants depended on Kolkata for their livelihood, thus increasing the number of commuters. Eastern Railway runs 1,272 EMU trains daily.{{cite web | url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328319153 | title = Commuting and Metropolitan Development of Kolkata |first= Bhaswati| last= Mondal| access-date = 16 December 2019}}
