The Mahila Mandiram is one of the oldest non-profit making social organization in Kerala, India. The main location is in Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala. It was founded in 1920 in connection with the sixtieth birthday celebrations of His Highness Sreemoolam Tirunal, the then Maharaja of Travancore. The founder Smt. K. Chinnamma was an inspectress of schools who pioneered social work among the women of the State. Aware of the problems of girl children, she visualized an institution to contribute to their welfare and progress and toiled for many years to canvas public support and collect money necessary to realize her dreams. Land was gifted by the Maharaja and buildings put up through public donations.
During the 90 years of its existence, it has brought relief and succor to hundreds of hapless girls and women of South India especially Kerala. It also has one of the oldest educational institutions. Mahila Mandiram is an autonomous, non-political, non-profit and secular organization. It is democratic in its functioning, with its general body electing the executive committee for a 3-year term.
