The Tamil Nadu government has appointed Belli, who featured in the Oscar-winning documentary 'The Elephant Whisperers', as the first woman caretaker in the state. She will serve as the 'cavady', assistant to the mahout, at the Theppakkadu Elephant Camp in the Nilgiris district. The appointment was made based on Belli's dedication and exemplary services in rearing abandoned baby elephants. The Theppakkadu elephant camp is one of the oldest in Asia, and each elephant is cared for by a mahout and a cavady from the tribal community. The documentary tells the story of an orphaned elephant calf and his bond with an indigenous couple.
