'''Wagholi''' is a [[town]] in [[Pune district]] of [[Maharashtra]], [[India]]. It is situated on the outskirts of [[Pune]] city so many people working or studying in Pune live here due to lower rents and cost-of-living. It plays an important role in the economic, social, cultural, and educational lives of people in the Pune, Koregaon, and Satara Districts.

According to the 2001 census, this town has a literacy rate of 85.14%, higher than state average of 82.34%.

== Government ==
The town follows the [[Gram Panchayat]] governing system, in which the ''[[sarpanch]]'' is the democratically elected head of the town.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.panchayat.gov.in/|title=Panchayat system in India|last=|first=|date=|website=|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}}</ref> The Talathi and the Gramsevak are servants who assist the Sarpanch in the pursuit of the town's agenda. Politics have been dominated by the Bhoites since India achieved independence.
