The Mannervarlu were forest hunter-gatherers. Later, men worked as guides on tiger-hunting expeditions for the British in colonial times and for Nizam. Many became farm laborers, tenant farmers, and marginal farmers. Those who live near remaining forest areas gather and trade medicinal plants and forest produce.
