Bishnupur I
Bishnupur I is a community development block that forms an administrative division in Alipore Sadar subdivision of South 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
Bishnupur I CD block is located at 22°22′52″N 88°16′05″E / 22.3812°N 88.2680°E. It has an average elevation of 9 metres (30 ft).
Bishnupur I CD block is bounded by the Thakurpukur Maheshtala CD block and the Kolkata district in the north, the Sonarpur and Baruipur CD blocks in the east, the Magrahat I and Magrahat II CD blocks in the south and the Bishnupur II CD block in the west.
South 24 Parganas district is divided into two distinct physiographic zones: the marine-riverine delta in the north and the marine delta zone in the south. As the sea receded southwards, in the sub-recent geological period, a large low-lying plain got exposed. Both tidal inflows and the rivers have deposited sediments in this plain. The periodical collapse of both the natural levees and man-made embankments speed up the process of filling up the depressions containing brackish water wetlands. The marine delta in the south is formed of interlacing tidal channels. As non-saline water for irrigation is scarce, agriculture is monsoon-dominated. Some parts of the wetlands are still preserved for raising fish.
Bishnupur I CD block has an area of 116.36 km2. It has 1 panchayat samity, 11 gram panchayats, 168 gram sansads (village councils), 87 mouzas and 84 inhabited villages, as per the District Statistical Handbook for South Twenty-four Parganas.
