Konnagar Municipality is the civic body that governs Konnagar and its surrounding areas in Srirampore subdivision of Hooghly district, West Bengal, India.
Konnagar Municipality was established in 1944. Sib Chandra Deb contributed tirelessly towards the development of Konnagar. After independence, a large number of displaced persons from East Pakistan settled in Konnagar. [1]
Konnagar Municipality covers an area of 4.67 sq km and has a total population of 76,152 (2011). [2]
In 1981, 27.09% of the total population formed main workers and 72.91% were non-workers in Konnagar Municipality and 49.26% 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.

Konnagar Matri Sadan O Sishu Mangal Pratisthan, with 43 beds, is located in the Konnagar Municipality area. [4]
