MEDHA
Medha (Javli T; 17° 45' N, 73° 45' E; RS Satara Road 29 m. SE; p. 2,055) about fourteen miles north-west of Satara, is the head-quarters of the Javli taluka. Medha lies about a hundred yards from the left bank of the Yenna which is crossed about a few hundred yards above by a foot bridge and has an excellent water supply in some cisterns or stone basins filled from a pipe fed by a spring in the range of hills to the north of the town. Water is scarce in hot months. There are no made roads joining this village to other places. Beaten tracks provide the only means of communication and even these are washed away in the rains. Lack of made-roads makes communication with other villages difficult and the village has thus remained as backward as ever.
