Welcome to the digital archives of the Vakkom Moulavi Foundation Trust (VMFT). This site is the culmination of an extensive digitization project dedicated to preserving and making accessible the invaluable literary and historical contributions of Vakkom Moulavi and his contemporaries.

Vakkom Moulavi is widely celebrated for his significant contributions as the publisher of "Svadesabhimani," a publication that played a pivotal role in the socio-political awakening of Kerala. To honor this legacy, we have dedicated an entire website to "Svadesabhimani," which you can visit at Svadesabhimani. While that site focuses on the rich history and impact of "Svadesabhimani," our archives here at the Vakkom Moulavi Foundation Trust provide a broader view of his diverse literary and journalistic endeavors. This platform is specifically designed to showcase and preserve his other notable publications, offering a comprehensive insight into his multifaceted contributions to society.
