A detailed village profile in Goa, using the original Primary Census Abstract. Every figure on this page belongs to the source’s 2011 population and geography.
Historical geographic unit. Village as classified in the Census 2011 North Goa PCA. A place with the same name may also have a separate Census town record; retain the code and rural classification.
