Suti I is a community development block that forms an administrative division in Jangipur subdivision of Murshidabad district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
Suti I CD Block lies in the Rarh region in Murshidabad district. The Bhagirathi River splits the district into two natural physiographic regions – Rarh on the west and Bagri on the east. The Padma River separates Murshidabad district from Malda district and Chapai Nawabganj and Rajshahi districts of Bangladesh in the north. The Rarh region is undulating and contains mostly clay and lateritic clay based soil. As the Rajmahal hills slopes gently down from adjoining Jharkhand it forms the Nabagram plain at the lowest edge of its elevation in this region. The eastern slope of the region is characterised by the existence of numerous cliffs and bluffs.
Suti I is located at 24°30′37″N 88°01′46″E / 24.510412°N 88.029329°E
Suti I CD Block is bounded by Suti II CD Block in the north, Chapai Nawabganj Sadar Upazila in Chapai Nawabganj District of Bangladesh, across the Ganges, in the east, Raghunathganj I and Raghunathganj II CD Blocks in the south, and Maheshpur and Pakuria CD Blocks in Pakur district of Jharkhand in the west.
