'''Asansol Sadar subdivision''' is an administrative subdivision of the [[Paschim Bardhaman district]] in the state of [[West Bengal]], [[India]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://wb.gov.in/portal/web/guest/news-corner/-/asset_publisher/DRJNTTCAyFo0/content/-west-burdwan-the-23rd-district-of-west-bengal-;jsessionid=vnN0KI0PJmHoD4QJWcXlM4kj?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwb.gov.in%2Fportal%2Fweb%2Fguest%2Fnews-corner%3Bjsessionid%3DvnN0KI0PJmHoD4QJWcXlM4kj%3Fp_p_id%3D101_INSTANCE_DRJNTTCAyFo0%26p_p_lifecycle%3D0%26p_p_state%3Dnormal%26p_p_mode%3Dview%26p_p_col_id%3Dcolumn-2%26p_p_col_count%3D1|title = Egiye Bangla}}</ref>

==Overview==
Asansol Sadar subdivision is part of the Ajay Damodar Barakar tract. This area is sort of an extension of the [[Chota Nagpur Plateau]]. It is a rocky undulating area with [[laterite]] soil, with the [[Ajay River|Ajay]] on the north, the [[Damodar River|Damodar]] on the south and the [[Barakar River|Barakar]] on the west. For ages the area was heavily forested and infested with plunderers and marauders. The discovery of coal in the 18th century led to industrialisation of the area and most of the forests have been cleared.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/DCHB/DCHB_A/19/1909_PART_A_DCHB_BARDDHAMAN.pdf |title = Census of India 2011, West Bengal: District Census Handbook, Barddhaman |work = Physiography, pages 13-14| publisher= Directorate of Census Operations, West Bengal | access-date = 23 January 2017}}</ref><ref>Chattopadhyay, Akkori, ''Bardhaman Jelar Itihas O Lok Sanskriti'' (History and Folk lore of Bardhaman District.), {{in lang|bn}}, Vol I, pp 14-15, Radical Impression. {{ISBN|81-85459-36-3}}</ref> [[Maithon Dam]] of [[Damodar Valley Corporation]], located in [[Jharkhand]], is on the border of this subdivision.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.dvc.gov.in/dvcwebsite_new1/dams-barrages/ |title = Damodar Valley Corporation |work = Reservoir Overview and Salient Features  | publisher= DVC | access-date = 5 March 2017}}</ref>
