A 6th standard dropout beedi worker pursuing his studies at night and obtaining M.Phil degree and Government job is itself a worthy achievement.  And if he takes the initiative to arrange free night classes for similar students and help 25 of them obtain job in Government sector, then that is all the more inspiring.

K.V.Padmanabhan, alias Pappan, Krishnalayam, Keezhathoor, Vengod, Thalasseri, Kannur, drew inspiration from the literary activities of Kerala Sastra Sahityha Parishad.  The people too cooperate with him in his effort to pass of his knowledge to other seekers.  Students of Pappan’s classes who include beedi workers , undergo training for PSC exams and physical fitness.  They are made to repeatedly attempt at solving objective type model questions.

His students have joined Government Departments like Fire Force, Forest, Police, Rural Development and Social Welfare.  Besides 10 of them have been short listed for posts like Mazdoor in KSEB, peon in District Bank, Guard in Excise Department and Police Constable in KAP Battalion etc.

At present there are 34 participants including 15 girls attending classes conducted at the Reading Room of Yuvajana Sangham, Keezhathoor.  The classes are held from 7 p.m. to 9.30 p.m.  Besides Pappan his brothers Pramod and Ganesh and a few others engage the classes.
