CHAREGAON
Careganv (Karad T; 17° 20' N, 74° 05' E; RS. Masur 6m, NE, p. 3,776.) is a large village four miles west of Umbraj on the Umbraj-Malharpeth road which crosses the Mand river by a stone masonry bridge close to the south-west of the town. Careganv has a primary school and a large population of traders who conduct export trade with Ciplun. Grocery, sugarcane and groundnut form the main articles of trade. From early times, pack bullocks from this village crossed the Kumbharli pass in numbers. Their place is taken by trucks.
Under the Community Development Scheme a bandhara on the Mand river is being constructed. It is estimated to cost Rs. 2,59,572 and more than 1750 acres of land will be brought under irrigation on its completion. A Samaj Mandir and a gymnasium built under the scheme were partly financed through popular contribution.
