In 2011, Amasebailu had an employment rate of 43.24%, 95.66% of whom are employed over 183 days in a year.[1]
Naxalite activity[edit]
Amasebailu was known as a Naxalite hotspot during the 2004–2006. This led to the establishment of the Anti-Naxal Center in Amasebailu which is one of the biggest such centers in the region.[2] However, there has been marked decrease in Naxalite activities after being adopted by the Amasebailu Charitable Trust and Karnataka Bank in 2008.[3] This, along with a lack of funding and interest from the government, has led to the abandonment and disrepair of the ANF Centre in Amasebailu.[4]
Infrastructure[edit]
Amasebailu is one of the first villages to receive the tag of being a solar powered gram panchayat in 2016.[2] As of Dec 8 2016, the gram panchayat produces 60 units of solar power per day[5]
Geography[edit]
Amasebailu is located in the Western ghats and is surrounded by dense forests close to the Mookambika Wildlife Sanctuary.[6][7][8] The village is one of the last stops in the Gali Gudda trial, a trekking path which leads to the Gali Gudda peak, a popular tourist destination.[9][10]
Amasebailu is also close to the Machattu river (also known as the Varahi river or the Halady river) and is expected to see an increase in its agricultural productivity as a result of ongoing the Varahi Irrigation Project.[11][12]
