A Socio-Economic and Cultural Study of Tumbuni Village, Birbhum District

Tumbuni, a small tribal village on the northwestern border of Birbhum district in West Bengal, India, stands at the intersection of natural beauty and industrial encroachment. Surrounded by lush trees, red soil, and the cultural rhythms of madal drums, Tumbuni’s environment is changing under the influence of nearby industrialization, which introduces a layer of dust over its once-green landscape. The study presents an overview of Tumbuni’s socio-economic conditions, demographic trends, cultural festivals, educational and health conditions, and overall living standards based on a study done in 2021. This research seeks to provide a foundation for future development planning by highlighting the unique attributes and pressing challenges of Tumbuni’s community life.
