Personal Life


Ishari K. Ganesh was born to politician Isari Velan and Pushpa Velan.
He's known for his involvement in various educational and social initiatives, including his role as Chancellor of Vels University. However, he has also been associated with controversies. In February 2021, Ganesh faced backlash from caste-based organizations for his involvement in supporting the official recognition of the Devendrakula Velalar title, which aimed to consolidate several Scheduled Caste communities under a single name. Certain caste associations argued that this move erased their individual identities and opposed Ganesh’s participation in the efforts to push for the title’s official recognition. The protests highlighted tensions over caste identities and the complexities of addressing caste-based issues in Tamil Nadu.
