'''Dheng''' is a village in [[Bihar]], India. It is situated 25 km. away towards west from [[Sitamarhi]] on the bank of the [[Bagmati River]], which is connected to the rest of the district center via broad-gauge rail network. It has: at the east side, the Maniyari and Vasant Gachhi Tola; to the west side, Bel, Bengahi and Adamwan; to the north side is [[Nepal]] and Jamla; and to the south is Gamhariya and Kharahia tola.

==Geographics==
The average height of village from sea level is 75 Meters. There are four temples in the village, two of which are devoted to Lord [[Krishna]] and Hanuman. There is one primary school and a high school in the village with library facilities operated by children.

Dheng is the north-most village of India on the border with [[Nepal]]. It happens to be the junction of Sitamarhi-Bairgania road link because river [[Bagmati]] which flows through the village separates these two towns. Incumbent Chief Minister of Bihar, [[Nitish Kumar]] inaugurated Baghmati road bridge called Banshi-Setu on 12 July 2010. This bridge named after Banshi Shah who sacrificed his life on 20 November 1997 in the process of putting demand of this very bridge in front of Bihar government.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://in.jagran.yahoo.com/news/local/bihar/4_4_6566038.html|title=Yahoo|work=Yahoo|access-date=13 July 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111002031354/http://in.jagran.yahoo.com/news/local/bihar/4_4_6566038.html|archive-date=2 October 2011|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Prior to this, boat was the only source to cross the river for four-wheeler vehicles.

==Popular life==
Most of the people are involved in [[Agriculture]] and [[Animal husbandry]]. [[Literacy rate]] of the village is quite low. There are now many primary schools and a high school in Suppi. The absence of secondary level small scale industry is main cause of poverty and unemployment of the village. A large number of youths works in [[Delhi]], [[Kolkata]] and [[Punjab (India)|Punjab]] as migrant labours.
