Kolavai Lake is a fertile fishing ground for fishermen in and around Chengalpet and supports their livelihood.
But, the fisher folk are not a happy lot. They feel the need for a small-scale fish processing plant since the catch has to be taken to long distances for sale. This, because they have to pay the market committee as they can't sell the catch directly to the customers.
The Kolavai Lake belongs to the community called Vetakaras, these are an indigenous group of people having a social right over the lake.
Till today, no motorboats or motorised fishing gears are used, but a diversity of fishing gears are used (that are often typical of small- scale fishing)
