It's the penultimste day of the Vaayana vaaram '14. Feedback is coming into the PN Panicker Foundation's office from all the districts about the activities over the last six days.
More, then, on PN Panicker. To recapitulate on the story that I've recounted thus far. He'd set up a vibrant network of libraries all over the state and to ensure that they'd benefit everyone, he concentrated his energy on functional literacy or non-formal education. That aim was achieved when the state became 100% literate. He'd by then set in motion the guidelines to ensure the sustained literacy of the neo-literates.
From his frequent travels all across the state, he was saddened by the sharp divisions in society on the basis of caste and religion. He was also saddened by the fact that the government's welfare schemes did not reach the poor because of exploitation by the touts and the middlemen. He propagated the saying, "Naam onnu"(We're one) and the concept of 'Souhruda Graamangal'(Friendly villages). He used to exhort his loyal band of volunteers to help the poor and the downtrodden to get their ration cards, arrange for loans from banks, apply for passports etc.
He was on this mission till his very end! A true leader of the masses!!
Tailpiece.
A truly remarkable personality who lived out his dreams!
