5.       How is the mobile network connectivity in Naringre?

A major part of Naringre is surrounded by hills on all sides. Mobile connectivity is therefore weak. MTNL / BSNL mobile services are available in most part of the village. The same are accessible in the Village Home property/compound. Mobile services of Vodafone, Idea and Docomo are also accessible in some parts of the village.

The nearest place with strong mobile connectivity is at about 4 kms away.The internet connectivity is limited on BSNL network.

However, the remoteness of communication serves as ideal get-away to create a serene environment far from the hustle-and-bustle of chaotic city life…

A land-line connection is available at the Village home for communication.

6.       How is the environment for moving around during the day?

The local population is peace-loving and therefore it would be safe to move around in the village in the public areas. The village has a Police Patil (Constable), who can be contacted on phone in case of emergencies. There is also a 24hour Police check-naka, a kilometer away from the House, at the entry point of Naringre at Dahibav, the neighbouring village.One should, however, avoid going into private properties without the permission of the owners.

7.       Are there insects and wild animals in the village?

Being a village, insects are normally around during the monsoon season. The windows are covered with protective nets. Mosquito repellent vapouriser is available in all the rooms . Insect repellent rackets are also available. It is advisable to put the window nets around the twilight hour to avoid the insects getting into the house.

Monkeys do roam about in groups and one should be mindful in dealing/reacting to their actions. Occasionally monkeys do come near the House. At such times, it would be advisable to shut the doors.

There are dense forests around Naringre. Sighting of  snake/mongoose on a rare occasion is not ruled out. One should always be careful while walking, particularly in darkness. Walking with a stick in hand gives comfort.

8.       Is the water safe for drinking?

The villagers drink water drawn from their wells or from the piped water supplied by the village Gram Panchayat.  Fresh , clean and sweet water from own well is available through-out the year. The water is purified and is safe for drinking. One can also boil water if one so wishes.
