Mundka

According to the 2011 India census,[2] Mundka had a population of 57,590. Males constituted 56% of the population and females 44%. Mundka had an average literacy rate of 78%, higher than the national average of 74.04%. Male literacy was 75%, and female literacy was 65%. At that time, 16% of the population was under six years of age. The village falls under the 8th Assembly of Delhi.

The constituency has been in the news for its very poor infrastructure, despite having a popular metro station. The streets have small drains, which cause the sewers to overflow after just a few minutes of rain. The lack of basic infrastructure cause some people to believe that Mundka is one of the most corrupt constituencies in Delhi. Anil Lakra is the current municipal councillor.

The village has its own community center, library, parks, and government primary school and high school. It is also a central point for aeronautical colleges and Delhi Metro Depot.
