In 60s villagers suffered a lot on account of drought,flooding,loss in agriculture , water scarcity etc which prompted the people to migrate to cities leaving the parents.
Some of early migrants includes-Jeyrama Iyer,Nataraja Ganabadigal ,Pattamaniyar Rajarama iyer,KanakupillaiyathuMeenakshi Sundaram iyer,Subbu chithi Ramadoss mama, Military Thyagu mama, Viswanatha iyer Sambu,kotaparnam Venkuttu mama,Papa mama Venkatramani, Kokaladi Balu,Sambu thatha Ramanathan,Subrama iyer Sri,Radhakrishnan, Anandhan and so on.
