The village consists of mainly irrigated fields. Agriculture is the major occupation of the people. Sugarcane, coconut trees, paddy and banana trees are the major crops cultivated.
Pothiyakadu is a sub-village located in the north part of the village with easy access to the Kabilarmalai area. This village lacked in agricultural cultivation until the 1990s.

The construction was done in later 1991 and carried the Kauvery water from Ponamalarpalayam Kauvery bank which is located nearly 5 km away from this village. This scheme water is being used for more than 300 acres. This village had a very few houses constructed until the 2000s. Thereafter people started constructing well-formed houses beside the main road of Nettayampalayam to Kabilarmalai.
