Rupsha

Rupsha is an upazila (sub-district) of Khulna District in the Khulna Division of southern Bangladesh. It is named after the Rupsha River, which flows through the area and helps shape its riverine landscape. The upazila lies in the southwest part of Khulna District and is characterized by flat, fertile land with numerous canals and rural settlements.

Administratively, Rupsha is divided into several union parishads, which are the rural sub-units, along with urban centers that provide basic services to residents. The economy is primarily agricultural, with fishing and small-scale trading also important. Major crops include rice, vegetables, and other local staples, while shrimp farming and aquaculture play a role in some areas along the waterways.

Population in Rupsha is predominantly rural, with communities centered around agriculture, fishing, and small businesses. Education is served by a number of primary and secondary schools, with some institutions offering higher secondary education. Health care is provided by local clinics and a few larger medical facilities in the area.

Transport links connect Rupsha to Khulna city and other parts of the division via road and river networks. The river and canal systems influence daily life, economy, and ecology in the upazila. Rupsha is part of the broader Khulna region with a rich cultural heritage, including local fairs, mosques, and temples.
