At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 2,516 and had 495 houses in the village. [cite web| url=http://www.digitalhimalaya.com/collections/nepalcensus/form.php?selection=1|title=Nepal Census 2001|work=Nepal's Village Development Committees|publisher=Digital Himalaya|accessdate=2008-08-23] Sarkuwa is situated in the Southern part of Baglung district. It is surrounded by KushmiSera, Damek, Paiyunthantap, Rangkhani, Jaidi, Arjewa and Binamare Village Development Committees. It has one of the oldest highschools of Baglung district and it has turned in to a Higher Secondary School (Janata Higher Secondary School situated at Ward No. 6- Sarkuwa) since 2006. Sarkuwa has five Elementary schools (in Maulachha, Sisnera, Tallamadi, Gairamadi and Ganwo). People from Brahmin, Chhetri, Thakuri, Magar, Sarki and Kami races are residing in Sarkuwa. All of them follow Hindu religion. All of the population depends on agriculture. Rice, wheat, millet and corn are the major productions. Four villages of Sarkuwa (Maulachha, Sisnera, Ekrate-Ratamata and Sarkuwa) have been electrified from Theule Khola Hydro Project (25 KW), one (Tallamadi)from Tallamadi Microhydro and the rest from solar batteries. Part of Sarkuwa and Gairamadi are getting electricity from a hydroproject in neighboring Damek VDC. Telecommunication is accessible in almost all villages now. A branch of raw motorroad is being extended to Sarkuwa from KushmiSera. [secretary, Sarkuwa VDC]
