P N Panicker Foundation

P N Panicker, the father of Library and Literacy Movement in Kerala is an eminent personality, 
who was the pillar behind the socio- cultural rebirth in Kerala. P N Panicker Foundation, the mother

(84th birth anniversary of P N Panicker) under the Chairmanship of Justice V R Krishna Iyer to spearhead 
developmental issues focusing on inclusive growth in tune with the technological advancement.
P N Panicker laid the foundation of the holistic approach to human resources development, through the 
library and literacy movement he initiated and propagated in his life time. He is also the father of many
