Samastipur district

Samastipur district is an administrative unit in Bihar covering agricultural regions bordered by the Bagmati River. The territory is subdivided into multiple administrative blocks that handle local governance and services.

The district was created in 1972 through separation from Darbhanga, establishing itself as an independent administrative region. Since then, it has developed its own governance structure and grown as a farming center.

Local communities speak Hindi, Maithili, and Urdu in daily life, creating a multilingual environment across towns and villages. The region reflects the religious diversity of its inhabitants through their visible practices and celebrations.

The main city of Samastipur serves as the administrative center and connects to other regions through rail and bus networks. Visitors will find most services and transport options concentrated in and around this central hub.

A major agricultural research and education institution in Pusa has positioned the district as an important hub for farming innovation. This facility contributes significantly to the advancement of cultivation methods in the region.
