About us.....

Inspired by the lifelong mission of Panivadathilakan Padmasree P.K. Narayanan Nambiar, this institute stands as a tribute to his unending curiosity and passion for learning. He believed that knowledge is limitless—that we must never assume we know enough, but remain open, questioning, and eager to explore. Even in his final years, he continued to read, write, research, and perform, sharing his wisdom with anyone who sought it. No one who approached him for guidance ever left without insight or inspiration. NRIPA carries forward this legacy, creating a space where artists, students, and researchers can seek information, expand their understanding, and pursue knowledge with the same humility, openness, and dedication that he lived by.
