Kenud Village was founded by Joraji Singh Badal (Badaliya Panwar). On 8 October 1818 on Navami Tithi, two villages Kenud and Chirakhan were established together. because according to astrology in India, the foundation day of most villages is celebrated on the Navami Tithi of Shardiya Navratri in the Shukla Paksha of the Ashwin month of the Hindu calendar, and in 1818, the Navami Tithi was October 8.
The founders of the village belonged to the Paramara dynasty, which ruled much of western India from the 8th to the 14th centuries. After the end of the rule of the Paramara dynasty, their descendants and relatives settled in the Malwa Nimar region and established many small forts, towns, and villages there.[5]

In the year 1818, when the Marathas handed over the rule of the Nimar region to the British Raj, the Zamidar of Dhodwara village, Joraji Singh Badal, son of Kunwarji Panwar, purchased the land from the British and established the villages of Kenud and Chirakhan. And people of different castes were brought there from different villages and were given free space for houses and farming. Presently the descendants of the founding family are known as Badal, Panwar and Patel.
Parmar or Panwar was an Agnivansha Kshatriya dynasty of medieval India. The authority of this dynasty was up to the states of Dhar, Malwa, Nimar, Ujjayini, Abu Parbat, and Amarkot near Indus. Nearly all of Western India was a kingdom of the Paramara dynasty. They continued to rule from the 8th century to the 14th century.
