Change since 2011 is not available for this village. The 2020 Mission Antyodaya survey recorded a population of 5,617 — 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.

Gram panchayat finances, 2024–25

XV Finance Commission grant for Maska panchayat, Mandvi zila parishad. These are the panchayat's own accounts, not this village's: where a panchayat holds several villages, the money covers all of them, and where a village spans several panchayats only this one's return appears.
