Agriculture - Ooty, Tamil Nadu

The predominant occupation of people of Kil kundah is agriculture with cattle rearing providing additional income. Tea, Coffee, Cabbage, Potato and beans are the chief crops cultivated. Since mid 80s, cattle rearing and cultivation of not-tea crop declined on account of sharply rising (Tea) prices. Most people converted vegetable fields into tea field in this period. Since 1998, when tea prices nosedived, agriculture lost its lustre and many youth of the village started moving out to nearby by towns of Ooty and Coimbatore seeking better opportunities.

The latest development in Kil Kundah is the 'Village Welfare Body'- a group of people informally coming together to form a better society. The festivals that were celebrated between two parties of the village over couple of decades is being celebrated in unison these days. The 'Welfare body' announces the important happenings in the form of notice board kept in the entrance of the community hall that was built in around 2003-04. Towards the end of 2006, the body has called for hygienic living by cleanness in the surroundings.
