Sonpur Community development block (C.D. block; Hindi: सोनपुर सामुदायिक विकास प्रखंड) is a rural area earmarked for administration and development in Saran district.[3] The area is administered by a block development officer. It is the second largest block of Saran district in terms of population. A community development block covers several gram panchayats, panchayat samiti, Primary Agricultural Co-operative societies (PACS) and other local administrative unit at the village level. It is represented by Sonpur Vidhan Sabha constituency in Bihar Legislative Assembly[4] and Saran Lok Sabha constituency in Indian parliament.

Currently, C.D. blocks are administrative units of 3rd level in Bihar state of India (equal to tehsils in other states). Sonpur nagar panchayat was established in 2002.[5] The civic body election in Sonpur nagar panchayat was held in May 2017.[6] The term of office-bearers is five years.

The real estate land prices soared in Sonepur after the start of construction of Digha–Sonpur rail–cum–road bridge in 2002.[7] Real estate companies like RAV Solutions PVT Ltd, TCW Realty PVT Ltd, and Phenomenal Projects are acquiring large chunks of land and selling it in small plots.[8][9][10]

Sonpur block (प्रखण्ड) has 98 villages.[11] Sonpur Sub-division (अनुमंडल) consists of Sonepur, Parsa, Garkha, Dighwara, and Dariapur blocks.[12] Sonpur block has 23 village panchayats and 73 villages.[contradictory][13]
