Location & History

Warje village is situated about 10 km from center of Pune. It was a very small village before 1970 with farming being main economical activity. Warje is on the bank of Mutha river which has catchment area in western hills and which brought good soil as well as sufficient water for farming. With a dense forest in proximity to river and creek areas, Warje was one of the stops during sheep migration from Konkan to regions inland. Warje can be seen directly as a communication point between Singhgad fort and Pune city. Signs of these can be seen in rock areas next to Ganpati temple at the west of the town. Ganpati temple has existed since 1982 and for probably quite some time before that. The temple was rebuilt in 1990 and is known as Ganpati Mathab.warje gaon is exist in shivajis era in warje there are many land founder eg chaudhri ,baratepatil,dodke,and dangatpatil.barate Patil and Dangatpatil take are dominant society in warje shivane area ,both society are Patil of shivane and warje .in shivaji era bhikoji Dangatpatil are sardar raje in shivaji army they was awarded by rajmata jijabai saheb bhonsale by raje padvi (sir) bhikojirao was the founder of shivane gaon and bapujibuvaj temple ,his clan godess wa vadjai mata and waghjai mata ,bartepatil had believe in clangodess shirkai mata which is in shirkoli .

Warje saw lot of change after 1970, with significant increase in population of Pune. The change from village to suburb took toll on environment. Major part of the forest, fertile lands were converted to apartment complexes of concrete and tar. Most of the land in Warje is now occupied by housing complexes. Just under the Warje fly-over bridge everyday early morning there is a crowd of unskilled labour which awaits daily wage based work from contractors, transporters and construction builders.

The smaller region of 'Malwadi' within Warje has seen rapid growth in the last ten years, again mostly due to the mushrooming of several big banner housing complexes resulting in a population boom in the area and also resulting in much stress on the local public infrastructure. Warje is connected by an extensive network of local municipal city buses to all parts of Pune. The buses operate from the "Ganpati Matha" bus station in Malwadi and connect the suburb to Swargate, Katraj, Shivajinagar, Pune station, MarketYard, etc. and even up to Chinchwad and Nigadi. Thanks to the proximity to the heart of the Pune City (Deccan Gymkhana - 7 km, Pune Stn - 10 km) and more or less insulated from the west by the large area under the National Defence Academy, land prices in Warje / Malwadi have skyrocketed in recent times.
