MOHADI
Mohadi, with in 1971 a population of 6,295 is a village in the Bhandara tahsil situated about 12 miles north of Bhandara on the road to Tumsar. It is the headquarters of a development block having post and telegraph facilities and telephone exchange. A large number of weavers reside here and produce silk-bordered cloths, dhotis, women's saris being particularly well-known. There are as many as 650 handlooms and the recent electrification of the village would give a stimulus to the industry, in that it would help setting up of powerlooms. Coarse cloths, mats and carpets are also woven and dyed. On a small scale bidis are also manufactured. A weekly market is held on Thursdays at which all kinds of goods including cloths are sold. Mohadi has a primary school, a high school maintained by the Zilla Parishad and a basic school. There is a primary health centre, a veterinary dispensary with quarters for the staff and a police station. The Marvadis of the place have erected a handsome temple.
