Patashpur I community development block

Patashpur I is an administrative block in the Egra subdivision of Purba Medinipur district in West Bengal. The area consists of numerous villages scattered across rural farmland with several water channels running through it.

The block was established as an administrative unit to organize and manage rural areas in West Bengal. Over time, the population has grown significantly and infrastructure has been gradually improved to serve the communities.

Bengali serves as the primary language for 98.29 percent of residents, reflecting the strong regional identity of this West Bengal administrative area.

Most villages have electricity, providing basic services across many areas, though more remote settlements have limited facilities. Communication can be difficult as post offices are sparse and water routes remain the main access for some communities.

Water routes crisscross the territory and connect distant villages through three ferry services that are essential for people and goods. These waterways are shaped by intensive farming activities and remain central to daily life in this region.
