sources of economy for the people living in the proposed Eco sensitive zone Brick making and charcoal
making also contribute to their livelihood Though the primary source of income in villages around the

selling and charcoal manufacturing become alternative sources of income Owing to frequent crop failure and
absence of other sources of livelihood the income levels recorded in the villages is quite low In Melaselvanur
village the average annual income is Rs 36000 while in other villages it ranged between Rs 25000-30000 As

sources of economy for the people living in the proposed Eco sensitive zone Brick making and charcoal
making also contribute to their livelihood Though the primary source of income in villages around the

selling and charcoal manufacturing become alternative sources of income Owing to frequent crop failure and
absence of other sources of livelihood the income levels recorded in the villages is quite low In Melaselvanur
village the average annual income is Rs 36000 while in other villages it ranged between Rs 25000-30000 As

the sanctuary for bird watching is November-January when bird population and species diversity is at the
highest
AND WHEREAS the sanctuary is basically an irrigation tank that is used for storing water for
agriculture recharged by the northeast monsoons from October till January The tank remains completely dry
from March to August As the sanctuary is basically an irrigation tank there is no natural forest within the
sanctuary Babul (Acacia nilotica) plantations were raised by the Forest Department The sanctuary being a

AND WHEREAS Melaselvanoor Keelaselvanoor and Orivayal the three villages surrounding the
notified area have population of men 2817 and 3038 women respectively with the total of 5855 Most of the
people depend upon Rain fed agriculture while the rest earn their livelihood as daily wage labourers The
villagers belong to Pallan Agamudiyar Yathaver Asari Vannan and Muslim communities The ethnic
identity is thus varied tradition and customs are also varying accordingly There is no major rift between
communities and they mostly live in harmony with existing socio-political scenario
AND WHEREAS agriculture and allied activities such as live stock rearing poultry are the major
sources of economy for the people living in the proposed Eco sensitive zone Brick making and charcoal
making also contribute to their livelihood Though the primary source of income in villages around the
sanctuary is agriculture due to lack of rain often the crops fail As a result cattle rearing firewood cutting and
selling and charcoal manufacturing become alternative sources of income Owing to frequent crop failure and
absence of other sources of livelihood the income levels recorded in the villages is quite low In Melaselvanur
village the average annual income is Rs 36000 while in other villages it ranged between Rs 25000-30000 As
a consequence majority of the villagers are below poverty line

Painted Stork (Mycteria leucocephala)
AND WHEREAS Melaselvanoor Keelaselvanoor and Orivayal the three villages surrounding the
notified area have population of men 2817 and 3038 women respectively with the total of 5855 Most of the
people depend upon Rain fed agriculture while the rest earn their livelihood as daily wage labourers The
villagers belong to Pallan Agamudiyar Yathaver Asari Vannan and Muslim communities The ethnic
identity is thus varied tradition and customs are also varying accordingly There is no major rift between
communities and they mostly live in harmony with existing socio-political scenario
AND WHEREAS agriculture and allied activities such as live stock rearing poultry are the major
sources of economy for the people living in the proposed Eco sensitive zone Brick making and charcoal
making also contribute to their livelihood Though the primary source of income in villages around the
sanctuary is agriculture due to lack of rain often the crops fail As a result cattle rearing firewood cutting and
selling and charcoal manufacturing become alternative sources of income Owing to frequent crop failure and
absence of other sources of livelihood the income levels recorded in the villages is quite low In Melaselvanur
village the average annual income is Rs 36000 while in other villages it ranged between Rs 25000-30000 As
a consequence majority of the villagers are below poverty line
Now Therefore in exercise of the power conferred by sub-section(1) and clauses (v) and (xiv) of sub-
section (2) and sub-section (3) of section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act 1986 (29 of 1986) read with

diversity in nesting and feeding behaviour for breeding and feeding It is one of the preferred nesting sites for
heronry species and colonial birds migrating to South India The feathered visitors flock the sanctuary from
October to February The wetland is irregular in depth and retains water for 3 to 5 months if rain is normal
Envisaging successful management measures will attract more breeding species and wintering species to
enhance the diversity which in turn will attract more tourists birdwatchers and students The best time to visit
the sanctuary for bird watching is November-January when bird population and species diversity is at the
highest
AND WHEREAS the sanctuary is basically an irrigation tank that is used for storing water for
agriculture recharged by the northeast monsoons from October till January The tank remains completely dry
from March to August As the sanctuary is basically an irrigation tank there is no natural forest within the
sanctuary Babul (Acacia nilotica) plantations were raised by the Forest Department The sanctuary being a
irrigation tank has very less faunal species (except Avifauna) which include Indian Grey Mongoose
(Herpestes edwardsii) Indian Palm Squirrel (Funambulus palmarum) Jackal (Canis aureus) Indian Flying
Fox (Pteropus giganteus Black -naped Hare (Lepus nigricollis) and Bandicoot Rat (Bandicota bengalensis)

AND WHEREAS Melaselvanoor Keelaselvanoor and Orivayal the three villages surrounding the
notified area have population of men 2817 and 3038 women respectively with the total of 5855 Most of the
people depend upon Rain fed agriculture while the rest earn their livelihood as daily wage labourers The
villagers belong to Pallan Agamudiyar Yathaver Asari Vannan and Muslim communities The ethnic
identity is thus varied tradition and customs are also varying accordingly There is no major rift between
communities and they mostly live in harmony with existing socio-political scenario
AND WHEREAS agriculture and allied activities such as live stock rearing poultry are the major
sources of economy for the people living in the proposed Eco sensitive zone Brick making and charcoal
making also contribute to their livelihood Though the primary source of income in villages around the
sanctuary is agriculture due to lack of rain often the crops fail As a result cattle rearing firewood cutting and
selling and charcoal manufacturing become alternative sources of income Owing to frequent crop failure and
absence of other sources of livelihood the income levels recorded in the villages is quite low In Melaselvanur
village the average annual income is Rs 36000 while in other villages it ranged between Rs 25000-30000 As
a consequence majority of the villagers are below poverty line
Now Therefore in exercise of the power conferred by sub-section(1) and clauses (v) and (xiv) of sub-
section (2) and sub-section (3) of section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act 1986 (29 of 1986) read with
