Odonates are diverse group of insect belongs to order Zygoptera showing remarkable diversity in aquatic biomes. To monitor the population of Odonates regular survey was conducted at Saundad Lake situated at National Highway 53 spread across 6 acres of land, surrounded by rice farm fields. Data were recorded for consecutive three years 2023-2025. During study, line transect method and direct visual count methods was applied. Results indicates variation in population of member of Order Zygoptera and Anisoptera due to anthropogenic action. Overall 38 species of Odonates are recorded belongs 4 families.

During study, we also found increases in anthropogenic activity as the season progress with high incidence of cattle grazing, fishing activity and removal of lotus during favourable seasons. Due to more and more anthropogenic activity, the lake area is shrinking lead to major destruction of habitat of odonates a cause of concern.
