'''''Vidyavinodini''''' or ''Vidya Vinodini'' (Malayalam: വിദ്യാവിനോദിനി) was a [[Malayalam-language]] monthly [[literary magazine]] published from [[Trichur]] in the [[Kingdom of Cochin]] (now part of [[India]]).<ref name="B1">{{Cite book|title=Politicisation of Caste Relations in a Princely State: Communal Politics in Modern Travancore (1891–1947) |author=Shaji A.|publisher=Zorba Books|location=[[Gurgaon]]|year=2017|page=57}}</ref> It started publication in November 1889 and ceased publication in March 1902.

==History==
Vidyavinodini Press was established in 1886 (Malayalam Era 1062). It was run by V. Sundarayyar and his son Viswanathayyar, the owners of [[Trichur]]-based V. Sundarayyar & Sons.<ref name="B1"/> They started the magazine in 1889 with C. P. Achutha Menon as the editor and Viswanathayyar as the manager. Initially, the magazine was printed in Kalpadrumam Press, Trichur, and later, in 1900, in Vidyavinodini Press.

The first issue of ''Vidyavinodini'' was published in November 1889. ''Vidya Vilasini'', the first magazine in Malayalam, had ceased publication around this time, which helped ''Vidyavinodini'' establish itself as a power in the land.<ref name="B3"/> ''Vidyavinodini'' was able to contribute to the literary, cultural, and scientific fields of Kerala for more than a decade. This magazine published 150 issues (twelve books and six issues) until it ceased publication in March 1902.<ref name="B2">{{Cite book|title=History of Printing and Publishing in India: A Story of Cultural Re-awakening · Volume 2|author=Bellary Shamanna Kesavan|publisher=[[National Book Trust]]|location=[[New Delhi]]|year=1985|pages=666–667}}</ref> The magazine had changed its name to ''Vidyavinodini Vakthavu'' in its final years.

After the resignation of C. P. Achutha Menon in 1898, [[Appu Nedungadi]], T. K. Krishna Menon,<ref name="B3">{{Cite book|title=A Primer of Malayalam Literature|author=T. K. Krishna Menon|publisher=Asian Educational Services|location=[[New Delhi]]|year=1939}}</ref> and Palliyil Gopala Menon also served as the editors of ''Vidyavinodini''.

''Vidyavinodini'' was not just a literary magazine. Instead, the magazine covered history, culture, finance, agriculture, and science. [[C. S. Gopala Panicker]], who specialised in natural science, was the chief science reporter of ''Vidyavinodini''.<ref>{{cite thesis |author=Jomi Thomas |date=2010 |title=Farm programs of electronic media: a comparative study of audience perception in Kerala |type= |chapter= |publisher=[[Cochin University of Science and Technology]] |docket= |oclc= |url=http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.933.3598&rep=rep1&type=pdf |access-date=|page=80}}</ref> The magazine, which Palliyil Gopala Menon finally owned, ceased operations in March 1902. The place of ''Vidyavinodini'' was filled up for a time by ''Rasika Ranjini'', a monthly that was owned and conducted by H. H. Rama Varma Appan Thampuran of [[Kingdom of Cochin|Cochin]].<ref name="B3"/>

==Trivia==
"[[Vasanavikriti]]", the first short story in [[Malayalam]], was published in c. February 1891 in the [[Malayalam Era|M.E.]] Kumbham 1066 edition of ''Vidyavinodini'' (Volume 2 Issue 3).
