West Bengal established as separate India statehood on 26 January 1950. West Bengal includes the Darjeeling Himalayan hill region, the Ganges delta, the Rarh region and the coastal Sundarbans. The state&#8217;s main ethnic group are the Bengalis, with the Bengali Hindus forming the demographic majority. The official language of the state includes Bengali and English.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malda Division, Burdwan Division, Jalpaiguri Division,\u00a0 Presidency Division, Medinipur Division are the five divisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">West Bengal has a peculiar configuration and its breadth varies from 200 miles (320 km) at one point to hardly 10 miles (16 km) at another. Its roughly 1,350 mile (2,200 km) frontier with Bangladesh, neither natural nor well defined, is of strategic importance. Although in area West Bengal ranks as one of the smaller states of India, it is one of the largest in population. West Bengal may be broadly divided into two natural geographic divisions\u2014the Gangetic Plain in the south and the sub-Himalayan and Himalayan area in the north. The Gangetic Plain contains fertile alluvial soil deposited by the Ganga River and its tributaries and distributaries. It also features numerous marshes and shallow lakes formed out of dead river courses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">River Ganga, which now runs through the narrow middle section of the state before entering Bangladesh, has been moving steadily eastward for centuries; only a small amount of its water now goes to the sea via the western distributaries, of which the principal one is the Hugli (Hooghly). The state capital, Kolkata, is situated on the Hugli in the southern portion of West Bengal. Another important river, the Damodar, joins the Hugli southwest of Kolkata. The elevation of the plain increases slowly toward the west, the rise is most marked near the Chota Nagpur plateau of neighbouring Jharkhand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">West Bengal\u2019s climate is transitional between tropical wet-dry in the southern portions and humid subtropical in the north. Throughout West Bengal there is a pronounced seasonal disparity in rainfall. For example, Kolkata averages about 64 inches (1,625 mm) per year, of which an average of 13 inches (330 mm) falls in August and less than 1 inch (25 mm) in December. The state also is subject to considerable variability from year to year. In the sub-Himalayan region, rainfall is considerably greater.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The year may be broadly divided into three seasons, the hot and dry season (March to early June), with dry sultry days and frequent thunderstorms; the hot and wet season (mid-June to September), when rain-bearing monsoon winds blow from the southwest; and the cold (cool) season (October to February), when days are dry and clear and stable atmospheric conditions prevail. Average high temperatures at Kolkata range from about 80 \u00b0F (27 \u00b0C) in December and January to nearly 100 \u00b0F (38 \u00b0C) in April and May.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/tzl6\/n0lp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Download Entri App and take free GK Mock test<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basic_Facts_about_West_Bengal\"><\/span><strong>Basic Facts about West Bengal<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The capital of the state West Bengal is Kolkata.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The present chief minister of West Bengal is Mamata Banarjee.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The state West Bengal includes 23 Districts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In West Bengal there are 42 Lok Sabha seats and 16 Raj Sabha seats.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the 14th largest state by its area of 88,752 kmsq.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three countries Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan shares its border with West Bengal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 5 Indian states also shares border with West Bengal they are Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, Sikkim and Assam.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chatim Tree is the state tree of West Bengal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chakravarthi Rajagopalachari was the first Governor of West Bengal and the first female chief minister is Mamata Banerjee.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">West Bengal has 294 seats are in the legislature.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ilish is the state fish and white throated kingfisher is the state bird of West Bengal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 14 October 1955 East Bengal renamed as East Pakistan.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subarnarekha <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">river forms a boundary between Odisha and West Bengal.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/tzl6\/n0lp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Download Entri App and take daily current affairs test!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GK_Quiz_on_West_Bengal\"><\/span><strong>GK Quiz on West Bengal<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Q1.
