Puttaiah Naika, resident of Kulanje Mavinakoodlu under Shankaranarayana Gram panchayat limits of the taluk has made a niche for himself in the field of agriculture by implementing reformed agricultural methods and growing vegetables all-round the year. In addition to agriculture he is doing horticulture also.
Mavinakoodlu is a remote area. The land owned by Naika is also not that fertile. It is a downhill area with stones and quarry. But by doing vegetable farming on such a land, Naika has shown that in front of human effort, everything else is negligible.
