  • There are 122 villages inside the sanctuary area (46 bed villages and 76 belt villages ) with a population of more than 3,00,000 people mostly dependent on the lake for their livelihoods like capturing fish and traditional agriculture in the past upto 1980s.
  • In the bed and belt villages Major Community is fishermen community (Vaddi community) and their livelihood is fishing. During  1975,Govt have allotted 2628 acres of land for fish culture to 58 Fishermen Coop. Societies and constructed fish ponds by them to eke out their livelihood .
