Gesupur is a village and panchayat in Bulandshahr district, Meerut division, Uttar Pradesh, India,[2] on the Kali River.[3] It was named in honour of Mir Gesu,[4] a 16th-century Faujdar of Mirtha and Delhi.[5] Most of the village's inhabitants are from the Chattha clan of the Jat people.[citation needed]
In 1999 the village united in a boycott of the Lok Sabha elections, when none of the 7,200 registered electors voted in protest against the lack of investment in the local infrastructure. The boycott was a success, leading to improvements being made in roads and the supply of electricity and water.[6]
In Gesupur you will find Hindu and Muslim community people, main occupation of residents is Sugarcane, Rice and Wheat farming. There is 150+ feet tall old Shiv Mandir in Gesupur, which is famous in nearby areas. This village is almost 25KM from Greater Noida and is at boundary of two districts G.B Nagar and Bulandashahr. If we talk about infrastructure, it is well connected to Sikandarabad via Gulaothi road but legging in connectivity from Noida, Greater Noida.
Apart from having old history and existence, this village could not grow much. There are 3 Primary schools but most the kids going there only for MID day meal, one Government inter college but there is hardly any achievement this school has in last 10-15 Years, if we count on career of alumni's. There is one RSS owned Sarasvati Vidya Mandir school also, which has quite good achievements in past(10 -15 years back) but today even this school is in pathetic situation. Seeing all this, education system of this village and surrounding areas is in struggle mode.
Gesupur has a big market famous in all nearby areas.
