Mumbai, May 18: Harish Shetty, known in Mumbai as Ermal Harish is working as the vice president of Bantara Sangha Mumbai new planning committee of education. He was the vice president of Indian Hotel and Restaurant Association Aahaar in the recent past.

Despite being in Mumbai for several decades as an entrepreneur and social worker, he has been indulging in paddy cultivation in his home town every year providing employment to several people. He has indulged in agriculture by being in his residence in Ambodi, Thenka Ermal. He leveled his nearly eight acre land ignoring the scorching heat of the sun in May this year and prepared about 37 fields for cultivation. He has been visiting the local agriculture center at Kaup requesting for paddy seeds. The officials have been saying that they do not have seeds of his choice and persuading him to take seeds of a variety other than what were requested by him.

Harish Ermal hopes that the newly appointed Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa and the minister of agriculture to be appointed in his cabinet, may take suitable measures and encourage farmers in the state.
