Location

Kondivali is located on the Jagbudi River, about 7.0 km (4.3 mi) southwest of the town of Khed, via the bridge over the Jagbudi River. Villages between Kondivali and Khed are Bhoste, Alsuray and Nilik. The village of Shiv Budruk is located about 3.0 km (1.9 mi) southeast along the river. Ghotan Nadi Dam is on the northern side of the village.

Community

Kondivali consists of around 500 households in all, with a population of not less than 1500 people.[1][year not stated in source] The main groups are Hindu Maratha, Muslims, and Buddhists. All live in communal harmony. Local Maratha families are Shinde, Utekar, Bhatose, Karbele, Bhave Chavan (Kunbi), Kapse and Kondvilkar. Muslim surnames here are Dawre, Potrick, Mullaji, Sardar, Mukadam, Metkar, Mapkar and Katmale.

Hindu Maratha, Kunbis, Muslims and Buddhists are the village's landlords, but most of the Muslims now work abroad or in other places in India, whereas Hindus work in Mumbai and Surat. Other sects are engaged in agriculture and service. The district reported that 54.3% of the total populace were employed in agricultural activity. Shinde's have the biggest population in the village.[1] Rentals are not available here.

Amenities

Kondivali has many gardens for Alphonso mangoes, coconuts and cashews. Besides a huge well, there is a huge dam which impounds the Kondivali Reservoir, and allows for irrigation here and in neighboring villages, which provides water for the locals, besides serving as a picnic spot for a lot of people around the taluka. Given that the Konkan railway runs amid the village, passing through the nearby tunnels and over a nearby bridge, a lot of people get attracted to this place. It has access to cable network, mobile internet connection (and thus a network for mobile phones). All of the houses are provided with electricity. With regard to sports, the village has a well-maintained cricket ground where hard-ball tournaments take place every year. In addition, Kondivali has an active gram panchayat role in its development, and a sub-post office, but the nearest post office is in Shiv Budruk.

Educational facilities

Kondivali has Z P Marathi Secondary School and an Urdu primary school. There is also a madrasa for girls from this village, and nearby villages.

Transport

Earlier, travel to Kondivali was by boat, walking or bicycle. Nowadays rickshaw or private cars are in action, and there is bus service from the government (MHSRT).

gollark: I think it would probably make sense to make it so that your identity server serves your profile picture, but servers you chat in can cache it for clients and serve it over the chat connection on demand.
gollark: I was envisioning a somewhat more IRC-like thing where you commune directly with each server you want to join.
gollark: That would possibly expose your IP to it which might be bad.
gollark: How should profile pictures work? Presumably you'd want them globally set, so they'd be fetched from your identity server, but would each server you chat in have to proxy them or something?
