A personal insight on visit to Dhodani and Neere villages The visit to the two villages in Panvel district was highly enriching and enlightening. Located just few kilometres away from a well-developed district‚ these two villages are stark contrasts from life as we know it and live. We witnessed the barest minimum necessities that people live with. Neere is more developed than Dhodani by virtue of being easily accessible by road from Panvel.
