The story of Theertham begins : From a Small Bulletin to Voice of a Community

Not as a grand publication, but as a modest bulletin born out of vision and community spirit. Guided by the pioneering leadership of Dr. V.S.A. Varier , with Mr. C.K. Achyutha Varier by his side as Managing Editor, this humble beginning set the stage for a remarkable legacy.
1982–2006

Building the Base : Brick by Brick

The years that followed, from 1981 to 2006, were foundational. With overwhelming support from the community, a press building in Kottappuram, Kidangoor was first rented, and eventually purchased. This period saw Theertham strengthening its roots—both in infrastructure and identity.
2007-2017

A decade of transformation and trials

Theertham embraced technological evolution, shifting to offset printing under the leadership of K.S. Subrahmanya Varier . The improved quality of print and increased external printing brought in much-needed revenue and briefly made the press self-sufficient.
2018 - Now

The Palakkad district took charge of reviving Theertham in 2018. Led by CBS Varier, P.V. Muraleedharan, and Dr. P. Murali, a new editorial team worked tirelessly to bring it back. With the introduction of Theams (Theertham Enrolment and Management System), the magazine embraced digital transformation, streamlining operations and ensuring seamless engagement within the community. Theertham still moves ahead—its journey enriched by legacy, strengthened by technology, and illuminated by unity and purpose.
