Gopiballavpur I community development block

The community development block spans 275.83 square kilometers across rural landscapes with lateritic and alluvial soils at an elevation of 82 meters.

The region experienced changes in 1968 when numerous revolutionary intellectuals from the Naxalite movement established their presence in the district.

The population of 108,254 residents maintains traditional practices, with Hinduism representing 97.85 percent of religious affiliations in the community.

The block contains seven gram panchayats that manage local governance through a structured network of villages and community councils.

The agricultural sector adapts to challenging conditions where 60 percent of cultivated land contains infertile lateritic soil requiring specialized farming methods.
