Bagdawar is a small village in the Almora district of Uttarakhand. Bagdawar is located in Bhikiyasain tehsil and Almora block. Bagdawar village is part of the self-reliant Bagdawar Gram Panchayat, and the PIN code of the village is 051764. It is part of the picture of the agricultural vicinity around Bhikiasain, with small settlements within the surrounding hills
These population data are for 2011 and should be regarded as historical Census data and not the current population of the village.
Bagdawar is not a large market village, but rather a small rural settlement. This has significance in the everyday life of the settlement, in relation to the accessibility of Bhikiyasain and other nearby settlements, especially in the fields of education, healthcare, transport and other services.
These figures provide a helpful snapshot of Bagdawar in 2011, but are not necessarily representative of the employment situation in 2026. How farming is carried out, or how people move and work, can vary greatly over time.
Bagdawar comes under Almora district, Bhikiyasain development block, and Bhikiyasain tehsil. The village has a Bagdawar Gram Panchayat.
According to the Census catalogue, the village is named 051764. This is useful to keep on the website, in case village names may be similar in one region of Uttarakhand as compared to another.
According to one Census-linked database, Ramnagar is the nearest statutory town, which is about 70 km away. This should be used for administrative reference purposes only, not as a current driving distance, however. A current map route would be more helpful to the reader for the last Chalopahad page.
One of the most obvious features of Bagdawar's historic demographic record is agriculture.
During the 2011 Census, 85 main workers were identified as cultivators. No main agricultural labourer was recorded, and one marginal worker was deemed a marginal cultivator.
This implies that agricultural cultivation was mostly linked to the individuals own or family-owned farmland, not to agricultural wage labour.
Specific crops should not, however, be included on the page unless they have been verified for Bagdawar. It would be very useful if local people in future years could contribute to this section by recording the crops grown, livestock, traditional farming methods and changes in agriculture.
According to the records from the Census, there was one government primary school in Bagdawar. Middle school, secondary school and senior secondary school facilities were indicated in Sirmoli, in the under-5-kilometre category.
The same records also contain information about degree education in Ranikhet and engineering education in Dwarahat. There was a polytechnic at Chaunaliya. The following are taken from 2011 Census period facility data and are not necessarily a current inventory of institutions.
The information available with the Census indicates that the village did not have all the healthcare facilities, but they were spread out in the village.
There was a primary health centre and a maternity centre recorded within 5- 10 km, and a community health centre and an allopathic hospital were more than 10 km away. Facilities at a dispensary and mobile clinics were also documented in the vicinity.
The registered geographical area of Bagdawar is about 95.16 hectares, which is equivalent to about 0.95 square kilometres.
The village is small, and with 56 households, it is one of the smaller villages in Bhikiyasain.
The Chalopahad page should not include general information about forests, mountain views, or climate, but only the specific information that can be correlated with Bagdawar. This will make the article useful and not make each of the village pages sound the same.
There are other villages within the area of Bhikiyasain, which Bagdawar surrounds. Village records available show the villages of Adagoli, Adborha, Afaun, Afalkhola, Amkhet, Amgadhera, Amoli, Amuroli and Agaspur are nearby.
Such villages can be subsequently connected by internal links on Chalopahad. The nearby-village section can be an effective local network, once it's published as individual pages.
Bagdawar's Census information provides a fairly clear picture of its rural nature.
There were over 90 persons who were recorded as workers in 2011, and the majority of the main workers were recorded as cultivators. This is in addition to its 56 households and relatively small population, which gives Bagdawar the character of a village that was heavily involved in agricultural activity.
Meanwhile, numbers don't tell the full story of a place
The personal aspect of Bagdawar would be local knowledge and accounts of the history of the village, the older people, traditional farming, festivals, temples, food, migration and how life in the village has changed over the years.

Uttarakhand is not simply another country. People here name it Devbhoomi (देवभूमि), the Land of the Gods. And it feels that way. Rivers begin right here. Old temples sit on mountain tops. Morning day...
