KAMARCHAK UNION : The Kamarchak Union is the most famous of the eight unions, as many well-known people were born and still live in the region. Most of the people are peaceful, progressive and creative . The union consists of 44 villages and does substantial business through foreign exchange earned by man-power exported in different countries in the World . In 1971, during the freedom fighting, Kamarchak was one of the most advantageous place and safe heaven for freedom fighters. Fighters under Kazi Jafor Ahmed, ex-Prime Minister of the Jatiya Party government,Organized and fought from this union. Kamarchak is almost surrounded by two rivers - the Manu to the north and the Dholai across (which is crisscrossed by the Udna and the Palki, two smaller rivers). Very often, this union becomes affected by floods but produces plenty of paddy, sugarcane, and vegetables. River erosion, flooding, a poor communications infrastructure, and a low literacy rate are the four main problems. The "Vishnu Pod" Dham (named after the Foot Sign of God Vishnu), one of the sacred places of the Hindus, is situated half a kilometer away,to the east of Tarapasha Bazar. Tarapasha High School, (now a high school and college) founded in 1932 on the donated estate of the Nag family, is one of the oldest educational institutions in Rajnagar. The founding headmaster of this school was late Md. Rezawar Khan, a very respected educator. There is a Branch of Bangladesh Sonali Bank since three decades.
