Nasiyanur is an evergreen place. Erode relies heavily on the Turmeric industry, so the main occupation in Nasiyanur is agriculture, followed by textiles and then poultry. 53.5% of the population is employed in some capacity, and Nasiyanur is a highly impoverished area. There has been some turmoil over the agriculture prices, including a protest in which farmers poured their milk into the street.[2]
The 2021 census did not occur.[3] This was officially due to COVID-19 and was postponed indefinitely. It will not occur until after the 2024 elections.[4]
Government system edit
Nasiyanur comprises fifteen districts. Every five years, the panchayats hold elections to decide on council members.
The majority party of Erode is DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam). DMK is also the majority party in the other twenty municipal corporations of Tamil Nadu. Under the laws of Tamil Nadu, the Executive Officer of the town answers to the officials of the district units, who in turn answer to the heads of their departments, and finally the leaders of government.
