The Nair Service Society, a synonym for social service, was founded by the late Bharatha Kesari Sri. Mannathu Padmanabhan on 31-10-1914. The avowed objective of the Society is the uplift of the Nair community. With its strong leadership and service to the community for more than a hundred years, the N.S.S has flourished as a well-knit institution dedicated to social and economic justice, inclusiveness, equity and equality. With its schools, colleges, hospitals, hostels and other institutions of repute in the social service sector throughout the state, the society has been a beacon of hope to generations.
