Notably, a micro hydro was built in 2003 mostly with the help of voluntary labour by the tribals (Shramdaan);[3] effects of the Sardar Sarovar Dam caused it to be washed away.[4]

The Bollywood film Swades was based on the village.[4] Aadiwasi Janjagruti a community media based social project operated in Dhadgaon Tehsil[5] is making a documentary on it[6]
