Occupation

Jeppu is a low lying locality and is on the bank of the river Netravathi, and thus naturally agriculture and fishing have become the predominant occupations. Rice is the major crop grown here. However, in recent past people have stopped agriculture and now all the barren fields used by real estate can be seen. You can also find wood industries and tile factories in this locality.
