O. Choyikutty-the unsung hero

When it comes to anything related to the history of desaposhini, no one other than O.Choyikutty deserves to be mentioned first. Beginning from the initial setting up of this library, O.C (as the library members lovingly call him) was a strong presence and influence of desaposhini. From small things as collecting newspapers and gathering furtinure for the library at its nascent stage, O.C was also in the forefront of theatre and various other big socio-cultural activities. During those days when group activities ruled the roost — unlike today’s segmented activities — O.C had played big roles – even of that of a theatre director for many dramas which were staged here.
