Nayagram community development block

The administrative district of Nayagram extends across 499 square kilometers of land, featuring multiple rural settlements at an elevation of 24 meters.

The region included three significant parganas - Khelar Nayagram, Dippa Kiarchand, and Jamirapal - situated along both sides of the Subarnarekha river before British annexation in 1803.

The population of 142,199 residents predominantly practices Hinduism at 85 percent, while maintaining traditional tribal religions, Christianity, and Islam within their communities.

The block contains numerous primary schools, secondary institutions, and a government college established in 2014, supported by a rural hospital and health centers.

The geographical structure shows a gradual slope from the Chota Nagpur Plateau with lateritic soil composition, creating specific agricultural conditions in the region.
