Gulva at a glance
Gulva is one of the larger villages of Pithampur tehsil — 14th of 181 by population, with 1,909 people in 320 households (Census 2011). Literacy stood at 70.5%, above Dhar district's 54.1% (Pithampur tehsil: 56.9%), while the sex ratio was 956 women per 1,000 men, below the district's 980.

Estimate for 2026 (scaled from Census 2011 by the state's official RGI projection; not a census count)
Method: the Census 2011 count × Madhya Pradesh's projected population growth from 2011 to 2026 (+23.5%), from the official projections of the Technical Group on Population Projections (National Commission on Population, MoHFW, with the Registrar General of India), Table 21. The report projects no households, so households use the same ratio. Rounded; a single village can differ widely from its state's average. The next Census will replace these figures.
India's last full Census was in 2011; these are its village-level counts (Primary Census Abstract). The 2026 figures above are labelled estimates, not census counts.
