    Dear readers, Coastal Side of Yermal Thenka is dominated by Fisherman Community called Marakalas which later renamed as Mogaveera Communities. This community was surviving on Fishing and selling the catch. Since catching the fish in the sea is tough and united they have to work there is always brotherly feelings in the community. Unity in Mogaveeras is a model for all the other communities. It gives the strength and discipline. Yermal Thenka was organised by having four heads called Gurikars. Gurikars are from four different houses they are 1. Chinga Gurikar House, 2. Chennappa Gurikar House, 3 Baba Gurikar House and 4, Kaanthu Gurikar House. In olden days any dispute in the village, never used to go to the court, and are solved internally in the Ooru Sabha headed by these Four heads. Any function in the village also required the presence of these Gurikars. As time passed financial condition and mussel power of these Gurikars diminished the system is changed to elected head for the Ooru who with elected committee started controlling the day to day affair. With whatever administrative modification Unity in the community still prevailing which is why community is progressing in Education, business, and cultural front. Mogaveera community inYermal Thenka Village are responsible to have Kannada Medium Govt Highschool and an English medium School. They have their own Bajana Mandir and other cultural activities. Roughly 50% of Yermal Thenka Mogaveer community are in USA, Europe, Gulf Countries, and major portion are in Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore. This can be now called as model Village showing progress in all the fronts.Village members are always ready to participate in any community projects.
