Govindpur (also spelled Gobindpur) is a village and block headquarters in the Nawada district of Bihar, India.
In 2005, the panchayat of Govindpur elected Pranita Gupta as the village's first sarpanch.
People who live here are mainly dependent on farming and government services.
The population is about 3,000 with many castes represented, including Yadav, Koiri, Pandit, Thathera, Sonar, Rajbanshi, Muslims, Bhumihar, Dusadh, Teli, Mushar, Mochi, Carpenter, Kahar, and Dhobi people.
This results in the post office and police station being completely disconnected from the village.
In the rainy season, there is a higher level of Naxalite activity because the police cannot reach the village.
Dhan, gehun, maka, chana, mungfali, gana, masoor and sarson are the main crops grown in Govindpur.
