From school teachers to home-makers, all have taken up cultivating vegetables and fruits, rice, and fish over the past more than 12 months. One such group is a set of lawyers, under the aegis of All India Lawyers’ Union, Ernakulam district committee, who have come out with flying colours in an attempt to cultivate paddy in 5.5 acres in Kadungalloor panchayat in Ernakulam. P.R. Ragesh, member of the district committee of the union, said more than 50 members, enthusiastic about farming, contributed ₹2,000 each to see through the initial expenses of the cultivation.
