This is a settlement built by KPCL [https://web.archive.org/web/20061031225711/http://www.karnatakapower.com/index.htm for its employees spans approx 3 Square km. Settlement popularly known as colony is classified into two parts 1st Colony and 2nd Colony. Both the colonies complement one another in terms of needs and facilities. If the 1st colony hosts Primary school 2nd colony houses the High school. If the 1st colony houses the administrative office complex the 2nd colony caters to the shopping tastes (a limited manner). Jamga colony is at the far end of the Ambikanagr and thus Ambikanagar closes with a KPCL checkpost at Jamaga colony.
