About the Okka<\/a><\/h3>\n

There are four branches of the Kaliyan\u1e0da okka<\/a> .The original location of this okka<\/a> was in Nala\u1e0di, where their first ainmane<\/a> was built. About 200 years ago, four elders from the okka<\/a> moved to Kunjila and settled here. Some years later, two elders from Kunjila settled in Ko\u1ecaakeri and one settled in Kaika\u1e0d.<\/p>\n

For many years, the Kunjila and Ko\u1ecaakeri branches were friendly with each other and met during Puthari<\/a> celebrations in each other\u2019s ainmanes<\/a>. But they did not have much contact with the Nala\u1e0di and Kaika\u1e0d branches. In 1931, Kaliyan\u1e0da Somayya, who was working with the Co-operative Societies of Ko\u1e0dagu<\/a> decided to bring the four branches of the okka<\/a> together by establishing a Multi-Purpose Co-operative Society (MPCS) for the Kaliyan\u1e0da okka<\/a>, there were only three or four such Societies for okkas<\/a> in Ko\u1e0dagu<\/a> at that time. His far-sightedness brought about unity among the members of the okka<\/a>. The office of the Society was in the Kolakeri ainmane<\/a>, until it was merged with the Kakkabe Cooperative Society in 1958. The okka<\/a> has a Mutual Benefit Fund since then, which is running very well.<\/p>\n

The annual Kaliyan\u1e0da Family General Body meeting and the Mutual Benefit Fund meetings are held in a member\u2019s house in Nala\u1e0di, and in the ainmanes<\/a> in Kunjila and in Kolakeri by turn.<\/p>\n
