Dhalghat Union holds a glorious role in the anti-British independence movement. On 13 June 1932, the historic Dhalghat armed clash with British soldiers took place on this soil under the leadership of revolutionary Masterda Surya Sen, with brave revolutionaries like Pritilata Waddedar participating. This site, imbued with the memories of the anti-British movement, is specially marked in the pages of history.

Several old and well-known educational institutions, such as Dhalghat Multilateral High School and Dhalghat Government Primary School, are working to spread education in this union.

Born in the fertile soil and revolutionary history of this locality is the renowned revolutionary and brave woman Pritilata Waddedar, who sacrificed her life for the independence struggle of Bengal.
