Banka district, Administrative district in Bhagalpur division, India
Banka is an administrative district located in southeastern Bihar that covers a substantial area. The region functions through several administrative blocks and towns, with local government offices and police stations supporting the day-to-day governance.
The district separated from Bhagalpur administration in 1991 and became its own administrative entity. This separation allowed local governance and development to be managed independently for the region.
Temples scattered throughout the district serve as gathering places where residents celebrate festivals and mark important occasions. These spaces shape the rhythm of community life and reflect the values held by most people living here.
The region is divided into several administrative blocks with towns and police stations distributed throughout. Getting familiar with the layout of these areas beforehand helps with navigation when visiting different parts.
A river runs through the district and supplies water to agricultural fields across the region through irrigation channels. This water system has sustained farming communities for generations and remains essential to local agriculture.
