Image removed. Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad (KSSP) is a voluntary organization working in Kerala. Founded in 1962,it has grown into a mass movement with a membership over 40,000, over the past five decades. “Science for social revolution” is the motto of KSSP .This motto was set up realizing the fact that a privileged minority was monopolizing the benefits of science and technology and it results for their own profit at the expense of the majority. KSSP chose as its mission, the challenge of arming the people with the tools of science and technology so that they can reverse this process. The activities of KSSP are of mainly three types: Agitations, Educational activities and constructive. The areas which KSSP prioritize are environment, health, education, energy, literacy, gender, micro planning and development in general.

Started publication in 1970,Eureka has been the best science fortnightly published in malayalam.
