V. R. Krishnan Ezhuthachan
With the objective of ending difficulties faced by farmers due to Feudalism an organisation called "Cochin karshaka sabha" formed with V.R.Krishnan Ezhuthachan as president and C. Achutha Menon as secretary. Brochures about the difficulties of farmers distributed by this organisation. "Cochin karshaka sabha" stood for permanent ownership for farmers in their field. Protest by karshaka sabha caused acceptance of "verumpatta kudiyan bill" in 13th February 1943 at Cochin Legislative Council. In 1944, part of the restructuring of the Prajamandalam, Communist sympathizers abandoned the membership in Prajamandalam. After this incident "Cochin karshaka sabha" divided into two as "All Cochin Kisan Congress" with V.R.Krishnan Ezhuthachan as its leader and "Cochin Karshaka sabha" with C. Achutha Menon as the leader. Later "All Cochin Kisan Congress" merged to "All India Kisan Congress".
