The population that grew beyond veshicha maruti in 1900, was the outcasted people in those days who preferred to stay on outskirts of gaon. So all bara balutedaars excepts rich jamindaars and seths were outside the degloor gaon. This area beyond degloor gaon is the current central township of degloor, which has all its schools, post office, and other government offices. for almost 30 years after independence, there was no area called new degloor, which developed on the outskirts, on the south and eastern aspects of udgir road and the national highway.
