Tiger pond Village is located approximately eight miles from the main Village of Karassabai. The Village has experienced rapid population growth over the years along with improved infrastructure with assistance from the Government. The Village currently lacks a transportation system, means of electricity, and potable water system. There is great potential in the Village to process cassava and other produce because of the fertile lands and the current level of farming.
