Villages of India - Where Culture Feels Like Home
This website basically provides us the current census data of the entire villages of our motherland, India.
Rural India, well known for its traditional culture
India, well known for its traditional culture and villages. India is a diverse country and has major attraction for villages. Villages in India are majorly found within every 25 kms of travel. Well recommended, one should always visit Village every now and then to visualise how our culture actually prevails. The true essence of mud along with the uniqueness of the life style is something that can be only vitnessed while visiting the village. The grasses, greenery, herbs, shrubs, trees, waterfalls, wells, tubewells and those bullockcarts can steal away anyone's heart.
Why Do Villages Feels so Special
I slept, I dreamt- Life as a beauty. I woke up, I realised- Life as a duty. It's all about our mindset and interests, you know. The day we'll realise that our wellbeing is staying close and sticky enough to our real ancestral stuff, we'll definitely stay in peace. I often wonder, why and damn why are people so attracted towards villages? The answer to this lies in just being there and feeling the true connection with villages. The cattle, the sunrise, the sunset, the seasons, the food, the festivals, the traditional wear and just their essence.
Village Spotlight : A Glimpse into rural life
Indian Villages are the heart of the country, where traditions originally merge with simplicity, beautiful way of life, and a deep bond with nature. Each village has its own attraction - whether it is a quiet, scenic backwater in Kerala, the artistic mud house of Rajasthan, or endless green fields of Punjab. Life in this place moves slowly, quite different from life in the city. As dawn breaks, one is assailed with the sound of chirping birds and temple bells. Life here is not about racing, it is about living in the moment, eating freshly cooked food at home, and enjoying the little things.

Common questions
All population, literacy and household figures come from the Census of India 2011. That is the most recent completed census, so it remains the reference used by government departments and researchers.
Use the search box in the header, or move down the hierarchy: pick your state, then your district, then your tehsil, and the village list for that tehsil will open. Village names are often spelt differently in records, so try a shorter part of the name if the full spelling fails.
Total population with the male and female split, the sex ratio worked out from those counts, the area of the village and its pincode, plus what the census recorded about bus service and the nearest railway station. Literacy and child sex ratio are held at tehsil, district and state level rather than per village.
Two things usually explain it. The census may record the name with a different spelling or an alternate local name, so search a shorter fragment. Or the settlement may be counted as part of a larger revenue village rather than listed on its own.
They are the same level of administration, sitting between a district and a village. The name simply changes by state. You will see tehsil in the north, taluka in the west, mandal in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and block or circle elsewhere.
The figures are a snapshot from 2011 and have not been revised since, because no later census has been completed. Actual population today will usually be higher, particularly near towns and cities.
It is the number of females for every 1000 males in a place. A value below 1000 means women are outnumbered. Child sex ratio uses the same formula but counts only children aged 0 to 6, which is why the two numbers differ.
The focus is rural India, so the detailed pages are for villages. District and state pages do include the urban and rural split, so you can see how much of a district lives in towns without opening a city page.
Yes. The figures are published by the Census of India and are public. Cite the Census of India 2011 as the source rather than this site, and verify any number that matters against the official release.
No. Our government pages explain what each scheme covers and link to the official portal, but every application is made on the government site itself. We never collect your Aadhaar number, OTP or bank details.
No. This is an independent site that presents published census data in a form that is easier to browse. Links to government services point to the official portals, and we do not process any application ourselves.
