Kerala Samajam, Jamshedpur

Established in 1939, Kerala Samajam is one of the largest Malayalee organisations in eastern India, with around 1,500 active members. It was founded to create a network and an identity for people from Kerala living in the steel city - and over the years it has worked steadily for the welfare of the wider Jamshedpur community, through education, culture and social service.
