The role of the Nair Service Society in the UK will include the protection and promotion of heritage, including birth, death and marriage customs. NSS UK will also be looking to promote cultural heritage through music, dance and drama, running workshops and holding events open to all communities. As well as these ventures, we look to promote and preserve the values and legacy left by Shri Mannathu Padmanabhan, while addressing the needs of the community.
