Primary source
The directory uses the published Goa Census 2011 District Census Handbook village records. They cover 334 villages across 2 districts and 11 Taluka or sub-district groups.
Fields presented
Pages present administrative names and codes, village name and code, population, households, area, PIN code, nearest statutory town, selected facility indicators and land-use fields where the Census records report them.
How records are presented
Names are cleaned for reading, numeric codes keep their source meaning, and district and Taluka totals are calculated from the listed village records.
- Missing values are not guessed
- A zero is retained when the source reports zero
- Duplicate village names receive comparison pages
- Map coordinates are not created from administrative names
- Same-taluka links are not presented as distance-ranked nearby villages
Known source gaps
Gram panchayat names are missing for 334 records. Household values are missing for 14 records, and PIN codes are missing for 14 records. Other fields may also be blank for individual villages.
Verification
Historical codes and figures may differ from current administrative records. Verify formal or current information with Census of India, the Government of Goa, district or Taluka administration, India Post or the relevant department.
