Bishnupur I community development block

Bishnupur I is an administrative block within Alipore Sadar subdivision that encompasses around 84 villages spread across flat, low-lying terrain. The block serves as the main governance unit organizing local services and community infrastructure across this rural expanse.

The block developed as an administrative structure to serve the region within the broader district system. This reorganization enabled better local governance and resource distribution across the scattered villages.

The population distribution shows a mix of religious groups with Hindus representing 63 percent, Muslims 31 percent, and Christians 5 percent of inhabitants.

The block contains multiple primary schools and several secondary institutions serving thousands of students from surrounding communities. Educational facility availability varies by village, so it helps to explore the nearest schools as needed for any inquiries.

The region receives support from the Backward Regions Grant Fund, established by the Indian government to enhance development in designated areas.
