Bankura I community development block, Administrative division in Bankura Sadar, India
Bankura I is an administrative block in Bankura district that covers a rural region with multiple villages. It includes various settlements where farming and small-scale crafts form the economic foundation of the communities.
The region was part of the Kingdom of Bishnupur, ruled by Hindu Rajas from the 7th century onward. This early political structure shaped the administrative organization that developed into today's divisions.
Bengali is the main language spoken here and shapes how people communicate in daily life. The villages maintain traditional crafts and agricultural practices that remain central to local identity.
The block operates one hospital and several primary health centers that serve medical needs. A railway line connects the region to surrounding areas and provides transport links for residents and travelers.
Despite its rural character, the block sits at a low elevation that supports flat and fertile terrain. This geographical feature makes the region well-suited for agriculture and water management projects.
