In the age of knowledge revolution and with the development of information technology the horizon of knowledge has widened and information become accessible to all. During the colonial period British introduced English education in India with the intention of creating a group of people" Indians in blood and colour English in their taste, opinion, moral and intellect". Unlike the other Europen powers Britishers did not believed in the mixed colony system and they remained ethnically culturally and linguistically aloof from Indian population . With the spread of nationalism and subsequent development of Swadeshi movement the regional languages and its literature got an impetus. The literature of the regional languages were encouraged and it was promoted in universities also. After the independence the entire country was united on the basis of language even though English remained as the language in administration and the position and status of English language remained the same. In this scenario the importance of an institution to promote the regional language becomes a necessity. With the aim of promoting the rich and diverse literary paradigm of Malayalam, Kerala Bhasha institute as a cultural institution of the govt of Kerala was born. Now it passed 50 glorious years in its achievements. It is said that with the advent of modern technology and computers and use of mobile phones the knowledge is accessible in to the finger tips and reading habits is dead.
