LATE  SHRI.  A.   B.   SHETTY

     Service to others without expecting any returns is not an easy task & it’s not a job that any one could possibly perform. But this  was the guiding principle,in the life of Late Shri.A.B.SHETTY who was born on 15th  November 1882 &  was the son of Mr. & Mrs. Mulki  Doddamane  Kalappa  Shetty. He originally belonged  to an agriculturist  family but went  on to be the  Chairman of  the village Panchayat showing an inclination for social ser- vice  at a  very young  age. He also  had a very illustrious & respectable  political career. His service  in the field of  education  was a great boon to the BUNTS. He began the hostel facility in order to promote  better  educational environment for the students of the  community. He also took care that the girls of the community didn’t fall behind & founded the Ramakrishna Girls’ Hostel at Mangalore. Also his hands-on training & experience & his belief in the saying "Pens are more powerful than Swords" resulted in the start of a newspaper "NAVAYUGA" which he published in order to share his knowledge with the whole society. To help the agriculturists he had started the VIJAYA BANK & was the president of the bank from 1931 to 1937. In 1937 he was elected as the MLA of the Madras Assembly .  Thereafter  he  was  nominated  as Parliament Secretary & then he became Minister in the state of Madras. Once again in 1956 he became minister in the state of Mysore but after 1959 he involved himself  in the  activity  he liked the best i.e. serving  the human  race  through his Social Service.

     The fact that a single person can influence and rather lead the lives of hundreds of people towards the path of progress is highly motivating. Such a person was  LATE Shri. Mulki Sunder Ram Shetty , born on 30th April 1917 the only son of Mr.and Mrs.Bommerabettu Muddana Shetty and married to Smt. Kusumavati Shetty of Kolyar Hiriyadka.

      At the dawn of his career after serving companies like Tropical, Warden, Crescent, Atlas & Triton he began a career in insurance & adopted banking as a new way of life.

    He was associated with VIJAYA BANK since 1946 and joined the board of directors of the bank as Chairman from 1962; he became the Hon. Chairman from 1962 to 1969 & then remained as full time Chairman till 1978. He proved to be a savior and rescued the bank from sinking. At the crucial time when the entire BUNTS community was thrown out from their landed properties due to land reforms, he threw open the doors of the bank to all graduate BUNTS. He provided employment to almost 9000 youngsters among which 90% were BUNTS & he also did the same for widows, and the very poor and landless section of the community. The sense of compassion, love and kindness towards others were the natural assets of Shri. Sunder Ram Shetty & today he stands tall among the BUNTS down the centuries & with due respect we would like to express our regards & gratitude towards him for what he was to us – ‘A Shining Beacon’
