Eminent writers, poets, cultural activists and political leaders raised the demand from various platform. T. Ubaid, P.A. Said Mohammed, N.P. Muhamed, Vaikam Mohammed Basheer, O.

The demand for a Smarakam to Moyinkutty Vaidyar was accepted by the Government of Kerala in 1972 when C.H. Mohammed Koya was the Education minister of Kerala. He took the initiative to form the first Smarakam Committee under the chairmanship of Sayid Umer Bafaki Thangal M.L.A. In 1975-79 period the committee was headead by Sayed Mohammed Ali Shihab Thangal. In 1989 the committee got reconstituted under Chakkeri Ahammedkutty as the Chairman. In 1992, when the committee was headed by Korambayil Ahammed Haji, it succeeded in acquring 87 cent PWD waste land at Palakkad-Kozhikode road in between Kondotty and Thurakkal (Pandikkad). Thus a major hurdle for the establishment of the Smarakam was removed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
