Kenud Village was founded by Joraji Singh Badal (Badaliya - Panwar), around 1500 AD. whose caste was Kshatriya Rajput and descendant (Vadaliya Panwar) which later became (Badliya Panwar) and presently his descendants became (Badal Panwar), People knew from different surnames like Patel Sahab and Thakur Sahab. from the middle of the 16th century to the early 18th century, the Nimar region was under the rule of Aurangzeb, Bahadur Shah, Peshwa, Scindia, Holkar, Panwar, Marathas and Pindaris. Later from the 1818 Khandwa district was ceded by the Marathas to the British Raj, and later became part of Central Province and Berar Province. The region to the west, which forms the present Khargone district, was part of the princely state of Indore. And the rulers of all the villages of India were officially made zamindars by the British, and the governance of the village was seen only by the zamindars of the Badal family which continued till 1947.

After India's independence in 1947, Central Province and Berar Province became the new Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. Khandwa district was known as Nimar district before 1956, when the state of Central India was merged with the state of Madhya Pradesh in the west. The present Khargone district of Central India was also called Nimar, hence the districts were renamed as West and East Nimar. Nimar district was part of the Nerbudda (Narmada) division of Central Province and Berar Province, which became the state of Central India (later Madhya Pradesh) after India's independence in 1947. Recently Khandwa was known as Eastern Nimar. On 15 August 2003, Burhanpur district was separated from Khandwa district. Khandwa district is a part of Indore division.

Before independence, the village was headed by a head of the Badal family, after independence the Zamindari system also went away with the British, a new constitution of independent India was made and the village was commanded by government officials like - Kotwar, Patwari, Police, Collector. Adi went into the hands of the people, and in 1992, the villages of India started being governed by the system of Panchayati Raj, the government panchayat is of 2-3 villages and the traditional panchayat is different from each village, in some private cases of the village today. Even the traditional head of the village and the panchayat settle together, but most of the work is done by the government panchayat, currently the village is headed by a sarpanch who heads the village panchayat.
