Bilgaon is a village in the Dhadgaon Tehsil of Nandurbar district, in Maharashtra in western India. It consists of 12 hamlets. The population recorded in the 2011 Census of India was 1840.[1][2]
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]
