The Ponneri Assembly constituency in Tiruvallur district consists of 100 villages, with a majority of the population being fishing community, dependent on the sea. However, the constituency has also become an industrial powerhouse with several big industries, including three important power generating stations located in and around Minjur.
While the reserved constituency has several industries, residents have not reaped the benefits, either in the form of employment in the manufacturing units, or any worthwhile projects created from the huge Corporation Social Responsibility (CSR) funds distributed by the big corporations functioning in the constituency.
