WADNER
Wadner, with in 1961, 2,415 inhabitants, is a large village in Hinganghat tahsil situated on the Delhi-Hyderabad national highway, about ten miles distant from Hinganghat. It formerly belonged to an old Deshmukh family which became hopelessly indebted and hence it was later acquired by one Raja Gokul Das. Since the abolition of Inamdari and Jagirdari systems, the village lands have become Khalsa. It is the headquarters of a Revenue Inspector's circle and has post and telegraph facilities and a police station. A weekly market is held on Wednesdays. Wadner has two high schools, a primary health centre, leprosy eradication and family planning centres and a veterinary aid centre. There is also a small handloom weaving industry. In honour of Shri Krishna a fair is held on Ashadhi Paurnima. The tank mentioned in the Old Gazetteer is no more in existence.
