In this village, historically, the main occupation has been cultivation, and it provides employment for most of the people as the water resource is available either by Bore-Well pumps or water flowing in the Cauvery river as this village lies in the tail-end area of the delta region formed by the cauvery river and other water resources that includes a great lake and many ponds. The crops cultivated here are groundnut, sesame, coconut, black gram, maize, sugarcane and banana tree while the main crop is paddy(rice). But nowadays, it is evident that the importance for the agriculture goes on decreasing due to many factors. Some of them are rain deficiency, not receiving water in time from mettur dam, not getting the affordable price for the yielded grains,and soaring labour cost. Many village youngsters have been leaving for and working in many foreign countries such as USA, UK, Singapore, Malaysia,and Middle East etc. as they claim this is the best way to earn a large amount of money in very short time that easily outweighs the revenue in agriculture.
