The Nair Service Society, a synonym for selfless
service and social commitment, was founded by the late Sri. Mannathu Padmanabhan on 31 - 10 - 1914. It came into being at a crucial stage in the
history of the Nair community which was facing a crisis brought about by
disunity and blind adherence to outmoded customs, beliefs and practices. They
had a glorious past .but ignorance, accumulated over centuries, reinforced by
inadequate education, proved disastrous for the community. Their predilection
for celebrations and penchant for ceremonial occasions fuelled by a strong
affinity towards profligacy and extravaganza, contributed to their decline
and downfall. Gradual loss of land holdings, underemployment and unemployment
due to lack of modern education completed the process of disintegration.>>>
