Berhampore community development block

Berhampore block encompasses 194 square kilometers of land along the Ganges-Bhagirathi Basin, featuring a narrow river valley with fertile agricultural zones.

The block's establishment followed West Bengal's administrative reforms in the 1970s, which restructured land ownership and agricultural practices across the region.

The population of 446,887 residents includes both Muslim and Hindu communities, with Bengali speakers representing 97 percent of the inhabitants.

The area contains 124 villages connected by bus routes and ferry services, with each settlement having access to electrical infrastructure and water facilities.

The block maintains traditional industries including silk production, ivory carving, and bell metal utensil manufacturing, supporting local economic development.
