Sundarban, the UNESCO world heritage site in the Ganga estuary had seen two of the ten cyclones that swept the country. Now climate change is doubling the problem in that region. The rising sea level is destroying the Sundarban deltas mainly the Sagar Block and we can see its effect vividly on Ghoramara Island. After two super cyclones, Amphan (2020) and Yash (2021) passed through Ghoramara island destroying everything in their path, people who stayed on this island trying to rebuild their life again and again. Now the tide is eating up their island and as well as hopes and dreams every day.  With rising sea levels and cyclones, salt water entered and damaged their main source of income which is farming. People had started migrating to different states of India mainly Kerala in southern India in search of new lives and jobs as laborers. Now approximately 3000 people live there out of 40000 people. Some who stayed, mainly men of a family go every day to the main island Kakdwip to find a job and earn money, and women of the family in Ghoramara earn by catching shrimps and little fishes from the ponds and the water which gets in the island in tide time. Besides that, there is no way of income left on the island. But they still love their island. Those who left the island keep coming back every festival and occasion whenever that happens like Gram Pujo (Worshiping the village), etc.
