Bikramganj is a nagar parishad city and corresponding community development block of Rohtas district, Bihar, India. At the time of the 2011 census, the city of Bikramganj had a population of 48,465, in 7,968 households, while the overall subdistrict had a population of 163,565. The main commodities produced in Bikramganj are rice and pulses. The city of Bikramganj has a slum called Dhangai which, in 2011 had a population of 3,955 in 637 households.[1] Bikramganj is located at 25°12′N84°15′E / 25.2°N 84.25°E / 25.2; 84.25.[2], and has an average elevation of 77 metres (252 feet).
It is a historical center of commercial activities developed at the crossroads connecting Patna to Sasaram and Buxar to Dehri. This crossroads is known as Bikramganj Chowk - quite an obvious landmark there. It is an emerging urban hub. Located in the "less industrialised" north of Rohtas district, surrounded by well-irrigated fertile fields which have given Rohtas the title "Rice bowl of Bihar". A railway station on Dehri Road connects to the nearby cities of Patna, Sasaram and Varanasi. Various banks have opened there as commercial activities that are generating growth. Once a mundane rural town, Bikramganj is trying to catch up with the developments happening around India. A natural river called "Kao" flows through the town and debouches to Ganga in Buxar. People of all religions live here, but Hindus are in the majority. "Chhath" is a major festival here, although Bikramganj is known for "Durga Puja Mela" when all four roads compete for the best pandals and young folks throng the Chowk area. A local delicacy is "litti with chicken" and a famous sweet is "chhena ka khurma". Nearby towns are Suryapura, Karakat, Koath, Maliyabagh,Natwar and Sanjhauli. The weather is humid and sub-tropical, good for rice cultivation. "Katarni" is a famous variety of rice grown around Bikramganj.
