Down the Memory Lane<br />
During the year 1979 an Association, known as<br />
Bangalore Nairs’ Association (BNA) was formed<br />
and registered at Mathikere with the aim of bringing<br />
together the Nair community in Bangalore and<br />
also for rendering services in Social, Cultural and<br />
Educational fields to them. At that time two more<br />
Nair associations were formed at Dooravani Nagar<br />
and Indiranagar. Dooravani Nagar Nair Welfare<br />
Association and Indra Nagar Nair Samajam. In<br />
1982, Dooravani Nagar Nair Welfare Association<br />
proposed to bring all the three Associations under<br />
one banner. Other two Associations also accepted<br />
the proposal and all the three Associations<br />
got amalgamated and formed Karnataka Nair<br />
Service Society. The Society was registered on<br />
8th June 1982 and formally inaugurated on 16th<br />
June 1982 at Puttanna Chetty Town Hall, by Sri.<br />
Panampally RaghavaMenon. The function was<br />
presided over by Sri. Kidangoor Gopala Krishna<br />
Pillai and the then Hon. Minister of finance,<br />
