The 2020 population figure for this village looks unreliable, so no change
is shown. Census 2011 recorded 1,152 people; Mission Antyodaya
2020 recorded 12,476 — more than 2.5 times higher, which no village grows in nine years. One of the two is wrong and we cannot
tell which.

XV Finance Commission grant for
Melnaickenpalayam panchayat, Thimiri 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.
