Village panchayat
editCuncoliem (also spelt Kunkoliem), shares a common village panchayat with Veling and Prior, two neighbouring villages. This is called the village panchayat of Veling-Priol-Kunkoliem.[1] In July 2020, during the first phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, there was a controversy in the area over the housing of Covid patients.[2]
Area, population
editIn the 2011 Census, Cuncoliem was found to have an area of 517 hectares, with a total of 323 households, and a population of 1,385 persons, comprising 711 males and 674 females.[3] The zero-to-six age group population comprised 134 children, of these 70 were males and 64 females.[3]

Also a comunidade
editCuncoliem also has a comunidade (also called a gaonkaria, earlier), which is a village land-holding community body. In October 2017, this was one of the 28 comunidades in Goa, to which the Goa government had appointed committees.[5]
