The original objective at the time of the founding of Kerala Sasthra Sahithya Parishad (KSSP) was limited to publishing [[scientific literature]] in [[Malayalam]], the local language, and popularizing science. However it was soon realized that publication and giving lessons alone were not enough to popularize science and extend its benefits to the common people{{citation needed|date=February 2020}}. KSSP held that a privileged minority was monopolizing the benefits of science and technology and its results for their own profit at the expense of the majority{{citation needed|date=February 2020}}.
