Change since 2011 is not available for this village. The 2020 Mission Antyodaya survey recorded a population of 12,710 — exactly the Census 2011 figure. That happens in about 15% of villages nationally, where the surveyor appears to have carried the old number forward rather than counting afresh. Showing “0% growth” here would be reporting a number nobody measured, so we don't. How we detect this.
