Janggwari has forgone almost all electricity to preserve their sense of tradition, however a handful of exceptions have been tolerated in the village's small town hall; a defibrillator, a single telephone in the mayor's office and the only air-conditioner for miles around.

People have been known to move to Janggwari in search of a simple life, and visits to the village by nearby schools are common. | Janggwari has forgone almost all electricity to preserve their sense of tradition, however a handful of exceptions have been tolerated in the village's small town hall; a defibrillator, a single telephone in the mayor's office and the only air-conditioner for miles around.
