The 2020 population figure for this village looks unreliable, so no change
is shown. Census 2011 recorded 1,587 people; Mission Antyodaya
2020 recorded 5,499 — more than 2.5 times higher, which no village grows in nine years. One of the two is wrong and we cannot
tell which.

These are the panchayat's own accounts, not this village's: where a panchayat

spans several panchayats only this one's return appears.
