Renovated house of P.N. Panicker, the father of the library movement in Kerala, at Neelamperoor in Kuttanad is all set for inauguration. It will be opened to the public by Cultural Affairs Minister Saji Cherian on August 20 at 2 p.m.
A bust of Panicker will be installed at his ancestral home. A procession carrying the bust will be flagged off by Job Michael, MLA, at Kurichi junction on Saturday at 4 p.m.
Panicker’s family had earlier handed over the Puthuvayil house and 6.5 cents of land at ward 3 in Neelamperoor grama panchayat to the State government free of cost. With no measures to protect it, the structure started to crumble. A portion of the roof collapsed in the rainy season last year.
