As we enter the New Year, the NKS Committee 2026 is excited to introduce our Theme: Celebrating 25 Years of Kerala Samajam – Unity, Culture, and Community (25 വർഷങ്ങൾ – ഒരുമ, സംസ്കാരം, സേവനം).

Our focus for 2026, "A Year of Health Rooted in Kerala Heritage," featuring 365 days of wellness, culture, and Kerala wisdom, is strategically aligned with our broader 2026 goals. The activities planned throughout the year mirror Samajam's commitment to building a deep foundation of community and Kerala culture.
