Keshpur community development block

Keshpur is a community development block in Medinipur Sadar subdivision, comprising multiple villages and rural settlements. The landscape features agricultural fields, water bodies, and a network of small towns connected by local roads.

This block was established as an administrative unit to organize rural governance and local services. Over time, elections and reforms have shaped how villages coordinate development activities and represent their needs.

The population distribution shows a mix of 72 percent Hindu and 28 percent Muslim residents, with Bengali speakers forming 95 percent of inhabitants.

Visitors should prepare for rural conditions and use local transport options to move between villages and settlements. Travel is most convenient during dry seasons when roads and pathways are in better condition.

Approximately 75 percent of cultivated land contains alluvial soil, while the remaining quarter features lateritic soil compositions.
