About
Bhavans Thrissur Kendra was established on 4th November 1978 under the visionary leadership of Shri. P.B. Nair.
Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan probably left a lasting impression on Shri PB Nair during his sojourn as the Regional Director of the Press Trust of India (PTI), Bombay. During his tenure afterwards as one of the Directors of Dhanalakshmi Bank having registered office in Thrissur, Shri. P.B. Nair was able to bring like- minded luminaries into realizing the dream of starting this great institution.
With stalwarts at the helm, the Bhavans Thrissur Kendra made a promising beginning with Shri NS Mahadevan (Then Chairman of Dhanalakshmi Bank) as the Chairman and Shri PB Nair, himself as the Secretary. The three Vice-chairmen were Shri Chithran Namboodiripad, Dr SK Pisharody, and Shri TAG Menon. Shri Pujara was the treasurer. Dr KF Manavalan, Dentist, KPB Nair and Shri Pankajakshan, Chartered accountant, were the committee members. It was in 1979 that the Kendra announced the setting up of an educational institution affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi.
