== Demography ==
A '''gate''' or '''gateway''' is a point of entry to or from a space enclosed by [[wall]]s. The word derived from old Norse "gat"<ref>{{Cite web|title=gate {{!}} Origin and meaning of gate by Online Etymology Dictionary|url=https://www.etymonline.com/word/gate|access-date=2019-04-20|website=www.etymonline.com|language=en}}</ref> meaning [[road]] or [[wikt:path|path]]; But other terms include '''''[[yett]] and [[portal (architecture)|port]]'''''. The concept originally referred to the gap or hole in the wall or fence, rather than a [[Barricade|barrier]] which closed it. Gates may prevent or control the entry or exit of individuals, or they may be merely decorative. The moving part or parts of a gateway may be considered "[[Door|doors]]", as they are fixed at one side whilst opening and closing like one.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/gate|title=GATE {{!}} meaning in the Cambridge English Dictionary|website=dictionary.cambridge.org|language=en|access-date=2019-04-20}}</ref>
As of 2009, The village has a total number of 658 houses and a population of 2640 of which 1391 are males while 1249 are females. According to the report [[published]] by [[Census India]] in 2011, out of the total population of the village 976 people are from [[Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes|Schedule Caste]] and 171 are from Schedule Tribes Caste.<ref name="census" />  
 
A gate may have a [[latch (hardware)|latch]] that can be raised and lowered to both open a gate or prevent it from swinging.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gardenista.com/posts/hardware-101-gate-latches-style-guide/|title=Hardware 101: Gate Latches|date=2016-11-17|website=Gardenista|language=en-US|access-date=2019-04-20}}</ref> Locks are also used on gates to increase the security. Larger gates can be used for a whole building, such as a [[castle]] or [[fortified town]]. Actual doors can also be considered gates when they are used to block entry as prevalent within a [[gatehouse]]. Today, many gate doors are opened by an [[Electric gate|automated gate operator]].
