Indas community development block, Administrative block in Bishnupur subdivision, India.
Indas is a community development block in the northeastern part of Bankura district in West Bengal, covering a large area with 129 inhabited villages that have electricity access. The block contains multiple schools from primary to secondary level and serves as an administrative area for nearly 170,000 residents.
The area was under the control of Hindu rulers of Bishnupur from the 7th century until British colonial administration began around 1760. This historical transition shaped the administrative structure that exists in the region today.
Bengali and English are the main languages spoken here, and traditional temples with regional architectural styles are scattered throughout the area, reflecting the community's spiritual life.
The area is well supplied with electricity throughout its villages, making basic services accessible across the block. Schools and essential facilities are distributed across the region, allowing easy access to services for residents and visitors.
The area sits on low-lying alluvial plains particularly suited to rice cultivation, which shapes the local economy and daily rhythms. These fertile conditions make the region an important agricultural zone in Bengal.
