Nandakumar community development block

Nandakumar is a community development block in the Tamluk subdivision comprising around a hundred villages spread across a flat rural landscape. The area is primarily shaped by rice cultivation and fish farming, with numerous irrigation channels and water bodies that define its character.

The block was established as an administrative unit in West Bengal to support development and management of this rural region. Population has grown steadily over recent decades, reflecting expansion in this part of Purba Medinipur district.

Bengali serves as the primary language for 99.81 percent of residents, with Hinduism practiced by 87.64 percent and Islam by 12.24 percent of inhabitants.

The region is best accessed by local transport or private vehicles since it is a sparsely settled area with scattered villages. During the rainy season, some roads may flood, so it is advisable to check local conditions before longer journeys.

The area produces 32,707 tonnes of Boro paddy annually from 9,327 hectares, while 712.50 hectares are dedicated to fish farming operations.
