⚠️ Important Note: Conflicting Population Data

I found conflicting population figures for Satakutuni village in different sources:

Source	Population (2011)	Households	Notes
Indian Village Directory & Geolysis	2,101	396	Appears to be the correct, detailed census data
Censusofindia.net	78	15	This appears to be an error; likely refers to a different Satakutuni or incomplete data

The population of 2,101 is the correct figure based on detailed Census 2011 data from multiple reliable sources, including the official Indian Village Directory . The figure of 78 appears to be an anomaly and likely represents a data entry error or a different village with the same name in Kodala subdistrict.
