Birbhum district, Administrative district in West Bengal, India
Birbhum district covers 4,545 square kilometers of land characterized by red soil regions and fertile alluvial farmlands across eastern West Bengal.
The district was governed by local Hindu chiefs known as Bir Rajas before becoming part of the Bengal Presidency during British colonial administration.
The Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan stands as an educational center where traditional Bengali arts, music, and literature studies continue.
Agriculture employs 75 percent of the population, with farmers cultivating rice, legumes, wheat, corn, potatoes, and sugar cane throughout the seasons.
Three major rivers - Ajay, Mayurakshi, and Kopai - flow through the district, creating a network of waterways that support farming activities.
