Berhampore community development block

Berhampore is an administrative block in the Berhampur subdivision, extending across a fertile valley area along river systems. It comprises around 124 villages connected by road and water transport routes throughout the region.

The block was established during West Bengal's administrative reforms in the 1970s, which restructured land distribution and governance. These changes significantly shaped how agriculture and rural settlement developed across the territory.

The area reflects Bengali traditions where people from different communities maintain their own celebrations and customs within village life. Local languages and regional practices shape how residents interact with each other and their surroundings.

Visitors can reach different villages using local buses and ferry services that operate regularly throughout the area. Most settlements have access to electricity and water supplies, ensuring basic facilities for travelers.

The region is known for silk weaving and handcrafted bell metal vessels, preserving traditional craft techniques passed down through generations. These artisanal practices continue to support livelihoods across the villages.
