Harijan colony in Konanakunte, a small area occupied by slum dwellers had a natural pond, which was put into use as a source of drinking water for buffalos.

The vast portion of Konanakunte was filled with cultivation of crops such as avarekai, huchellu & ragi to name a few.

Over the years, Konanakunte has experienced a great deal of development in terms of population infrastructure and urbanization.

Konanakunte once known as the sleeping village on the city's outskirts known only for farming and underemployment is today a sprawling locality with people of various origins making it their home.

The main attraction in this colony and the crux of the issue is the booming real estate opportunities.
