THARAVAD
(A Quarterly Publication of the Vadakkethalackal Mahakudumbayogam)

It was a long-cherished ambition of the Youth Wing of our Mahakudumbam that we must have a periodical family publication/news letter. The objective was to promote the creative thinking, effective communication, writing skills and other intellectual abilities among our youngsters.

Ignited by the spirit and values of our slogan ' TRADITION - BROTHERHOOD - TOGETHERNESS ', our talented brother Rajan A. Maret took the initiative and made it possible to release the periodical ' THARAVAD ' as a quarterly publication in the year 1995. He was the ' Founder Chief Editor '. His name will ever be remembered with gratitude, although he left us and entered the heavenly abode. The demise of dear Rajan was unexpected and caused an interruption of ' THARAVAD ' issues for sometime.

However, Mr. Joji Philip, Vadakkethoppil, Kumbanad and Mr. P.G. Maret, the successive Chief Editors ensured the uninterrupted release of ' THARAVAD ' ISSUES in a good manner and standard. They are admired for their sincerity and determination.

Thereafter Prof. K.O. Ninan, Kanjirathinmoottil, Mavelikara,who was also the President of VadakkethalackalMahakudumbayogam, took charge as the Chief Editor together with a team of resourceful Editorial Board until December 2012.

From January 2013 Mr. P. S. Varghese, Puthenpurayil, Mavelikara took over as Chief Editor with Prof. Alexander V. George as AssociateEditor and a team of proficient Board Members. This Editorial Board continued till December 2015.

The present Editorial Board was formed with Mr. P.G. Maret as Chief Editor and Dr Noble P. Abraham, Ooriyapadickal as Associate Editor together with a team of learned Board Members who took charge from January 2016.

We thankfully acknowledge the valuable support from our affectionate brothers and sisters towards ' THARAVAD ' publication and we anticipate the same in future too.
