Mohanpur community development block

Mohanpur is an administrative block in Kharagpur subdivision covering approximately 137 square kilometers at a low elevation in West Bengal. The block comprises more than 100 villages organized through local village councils and administrative divisions that manage daily governance.

The block was created as part of India's rural development strategy through community development programs and initiatives. This administrative structure was designed to better organize and support rural areas in the region.

The Bengali-speaking communities here maintain traditional farming practices and languages like Odia and Santali are spoken by residents across the villages. Daily life centers around agricultural work and local village governance that shapes how people interact with their surroundings.

The block has more than 80 primary schools and multiple health facilities including a rural hospital and primary health centers. Public transportation connects the villages through established bus routes that serve the area.

Nearly half of the working population labors in rice cultivation as agricultural workers, showing how deeply the economy ties to farming. This specialized focus shapes the work patterns and economic structure throughout the block.
