Patrasayer (community development block)
Patrasayer is a community development block (CD block) that forms an administrative division in the Bishnupur subdivision of the Bankura district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
From around the 7th century AD till around the advent of British rule, for around a millennium, history of Bankura district is identical with the rise and fall of the Hindu Rajas of Bishnupur. The Bishnupur Rajas, who were at the summit of their fortunes towards the end of the 17th century, started declining in the first half of the 18th century. First, the Maharaja of Burdwan seized the Fatehpur Mahal, and then the Maratha invasions laid waste their country.
Bishnupur was ceded to the British with the rest of Burdwan chakla in 1760. In 1787, Bishnupur was united with Birbhum to form a separate administrative unit. In 1793 it was transferred to the Burdwan collectorate. In 1879, the district acquired its present shape with the thanas of Khatra and Raipur and the outpost of Simplapal being transferred from Manbhum, and the thanas of Sonamukhi, Kotulpur and Indas being retransferred from Burdwan. However, it was known for sometime as West Burdwan and in 1881 came to be known as Bankura district.
Patrasayer is located at 23°13′00″N 87°31′00″E / 23.2167°N 87.5167°E.
Patrasayer CD block is located in the eastern part of the district and belongs to the fertile low lying alluvial plains, similar to the predominating rice lands in the adjacent districts of West Bengal. The area is also referred to as Patrasayer plains. Here, the eye constantly rests on wide expanses of rice fields, green in the rains but parched and dry in summer.
Patrasayer CD block is bounded by the Galsi II CD block, in Purba Bardhaman district across the Damodar, on the north, Khandaghosh CD block, in Purba Bardhaman district, and Indas CD block on the east, Joypur CD block on the south and Bishnupur and Sonamukhi CD blocks on the west.
Patrasayer CD block has an area of 322.62 km2. It has 1 panchayat samity, 10 gram panchayats, 134 gram sansads (village councils), 160 mouzas and 151 inhabited villages. Patrasayer police station serves this block. Headquarters of this CD block is at Patrasayer.
