Bud Bud is a census town in Galsi I CD Block of Bardhaman Sadar North subdivision of Purba Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal.

History

After the stabilisation of the Permanent Settlement of Lord Cornwallis, the earlier administrative divisions of ‘chaklas’ were replaced by districts, which were divided into sub divisions. In 1846, Bud Bud subdivision was created. In the subsequent year, Katwa, Raniganj, Jahanabad (later Arambag), and Bardhaman Sadar subdivisions were formed. In 1860, Kalna subdivision was formed. The six subdivisions were part of Bardhaman district.

Along with the formations of districts and subdivisions, the earlier administrative division of ‘parganas’ were converted to ‘thanas’ or police stations. The police stations under Bud Bud subdivision were Bud Bud, Ausgram and Sonamukhi. Later, Sonamukhi was cut off from Bud Bud and added to Bankura district.[1]
