This page compiles publicly available administrative and government-portal information as of July 2026. Panchayat boundaries, office contacts, and scheme rules can change — always confirm current details with the Udakishunganj Block/Anchal office or the official portal linked below before relying on them.

Udakishunganj is one of the community development blocks of Madhepura district in Bihar, with its block headquarters located in Udakishunganj town, roughly 35 km from the Madhepura district headquarters. The Block Development Officer (BDO) is the senior administrative officer for the block and oversees implementation of central and state government schemes, panchayati raj coordination, and block-level welfare programs.

Official source: madhepura.nic.in (the Madhepura district administration's official website) lists current subdivision and block office details, including contact numbers for the BDO and Circle Officer as they are updated by the district administration.

What the Block Office handles

  • Implementation of MGNREGA (rural employment guarantee) works at the panchayat level
  • Coordination of welfare scheme rollout — old-age/widow/disability pensions, PM Awas Yojana (Gramin), and similar programs
  • Liaison between panchayats and the district administration
  • Disaster/flood relief coordination — relevant given Udakishunganj's location in the Kosi river basin

Circle Office (Anchal) — for land records

Land-record matters (mutation, jamabandi, LPC/caste-income-residence certificates in some cases) in Bihar are typically handled through the Circle Office (Anchal), which is separate from but co-located near the Block Development Office in most Bihar blocks, including Udakishunganj. For land and revenue matters, residents should approach the Circle Officer (Ancharadhikari) rather than the BDO.

Before you visit: government office contact numbers and officer postings in Bihar change periodically with transfers. Call ahead using the number listed on madhepura.nic.in's current subdivision/block page, or ask at your local panchayat office, rather than relying on old numbers found elsewhere online.

Udakishunganj subdivision context

Udakishunganj is also the headquarters of Udakishunganj subdivision, one of the subdivisions of Madhepura district — see our Udakishunganj subdivision guide for the blocks it covers and how the subdivision fits into the wider district administration.

The bottom line

For scheme-related and panchayat coordination matters, the Udakishunganj BDO office is the first point of contact; for land and revenue matters, it's the Circle Office. Always verify current contact details on madhepura.nic.in before making a trip.
