Economy
Perumanna has been well known for extensive fertile paddy fields and lush coconut tree groves. Paddy fields have become a thing of the past. They have mostly been filled up with soil excavated from nearby hillocks to erect houses and commercial buildings. Very few farmers cultivate paddy. Non-availability of laborers and escalating labor costs are aggravating the situation. The fast diminishing of paddy fields has already affected the Eco-system adversely.
