The local dynastic precursors of modern-day Kerala—primarily the Travancore Royal Family, the Nair Service Society,http://www.nss.org.in/ Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam (SNDP Yogam) and Muslim Educational Society (MES)—also made significant contribution to the progress on education in Kerala.

Narayam
Narayam ( ml, നാരായം) ( sa, नाराचः) or ezhuthani ( ml, എഴുത്താണി) is a writing instrument (stylus) used since antiquity in South India, Sri Lanka and other proximate regions of Asia. Description and use Although similar to the modern day pen in shape and use, instead of using a colored ink, it scribes on the surface (normally a pre-treated palm leaf) creating fine scratches in the form of letters and shapes. In essence, the ''narayam'' is a long piece of iron with a sharpened or pointed end and fabricated to ergonomically fit into the writer's fist. ''Narayam'' was the primary tool to scribe on palm-leaf manuscripts called ''thaliyola'', the pre-treated leaf of an Asian palmyra palm.

Palm-leaf Manuscript
Palm-leaf manuscripts are manuscripts made out of dried palm leaves. Palm leaves were used as writing materials in the Indian subcontinent and in Southeast Asia reportedly dating back to the 5th century BCE. Their use began in South Asia and spread to other regions, as texts on dried and smoke-treated palm leaves of Palmyra palm or the talipot palm. Their use continued till the 19th century, when printing presses replaced hand-written manuscripts. One of the oldest surviving palm leaf manuscripts of a complete treatise is a Sanskrit Shaivism text from the 9th-century, discovered in Nepal, now preserved at the Cambridge University Library.Pārameśvaratantra (MS Add.1049.1) with images
