Ezhikkara, a quaint little panchayat in Paravur taluk north of Ernakulam, is a hive of activity with about 800 farmers engaged in activities ranging from banana cultivation to fish-farming any given day.
Thanks to the financial support of the Palliyakkal Service Cooperative Bank, set up in 1942, which has grown into a shelter for marginal fish, vegetable, poultry and dairy farmers who depend on day-to-day income for their livelihood.
