Our founder, Mannathu Padmanabhan instilled a sense of direction in the decadent Nair community by organizing the Nair Service Society, a service organization committed to the cause of providing modern education, a positive outlook, a sense of purpose, and a competitive edge. The educational institutions spread across the state bear testimony to his visionary zeal. He is remembered for his service to the state of Kerala and its people. He will always be an inspiration and a source of guidance to us.
Sri. Mannathu Padmanabhan dedicated his life to the upliftment of the people of Kerala in general and the Nair community in particular. The peerless leader and great social reformer was born in the closing decades of the 19th century in the village of Perunna in the Changanacherry taluk of the erstwhile state of Travancore. Abject poverty, misery and deprivation marked the early years of his life. He started his career as a teacher before moving on to practice law. Before long he found himself drawn into the vortex of political and social movements. The plight of the Nair Community which was witnessing its own decadence and disintegration, precipitated by superstitious veneration for antiquated customs and tradition, filled him with anguish. He marshalled his oratory skill and organizational ability to motivate, inspire and mobilize the community. The Nair Service Society which he conceived, nursed and nurtured epitomized the hopes and aspirations of the community. His personal life was inextricably intertwined with the history of the N.S.S. He travelled extensively through the state, met people, organized them, and won their love and regard with the help of his disarming simplicity, single-minded devotion, will, and determination.
