Change since 2011 is not available for this village.
The 2020 Mission Antyodaya survey recorded a population of 618
— 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.
