In the past, the voluntary organizations and irreligious approaches led to establishment of the charitable movement. The charitable societies were established by social reformers and persons who are interested in helping poor people. More than helping the needy people, charitable societies play crucial role in the advancement of any country. Still many organizations which are registered aiming charity and social reformation have made financial advantages damaging the trust of public.This awareness has directed to the formation of a platform named 'SathyaneshwanaVedi', a terminology hired from Mahatma Gandhi’s book “My Experiments with Truth”.

The consultation of an ideal and corruption-free society resulted in the birth of Sathyanweshana Charitable Society. In May 7, 2006, Sri. M.P. Sreedharan inaugurated the Rationalist Movement and had discussed on Sathyanweshana Charitable Society aimed on forward thinking. The Sathyanweshana Charitable Society was registered under Travancore-Cochin Charitable Act on October 2nd 2006 with a 15-member adhoc committee with Suryacode Nadesan as President, Vilappil Soman as Secretary and P. Srikumaran as the Treasurer. In the beginning, the society struggled for its proper functioning due to the widespread misconception on the charitable societies. Eventually the society could gain the co-operation and encouragement from the people by the unique activities of the society. The first members of the society belonged to the laborers and common people handing over Rs. 5 as entry fee and Rs. 10 as monthly fee. The regular monthly membership fee from many friends like Sri. Thankappan Panicker has helped the Society from financial crisis. Sri. A Krishnan Kuttiand and Sri. S.R. Mohanan jointly made the name board for the Society. The society could overcome financial crisis and other hardships only because of its strong dedication. The early activities of the Society were financially supported by Sri. A. Sailan, the owner of Sre Karthikeya paint works, who was aware of the Society’s aim and work. Only such generosity could make the society survive the initial stages. The encouragement from Malaykal Timbers, Sri. M.P. Sreedharan, Sri. G. Sudhakaran Nair, Sri. K.G. James, Sri. B. Radhakrishnan Nair, Sri. KattuvilaVibhu Kumar and Sri. K. Rajesh had given courage for the firm steps towards the progress and establishment of the society.

With the sincere efforts of the second President Sri. M.D. Dileep, the third President Sri. Manual Nesan, Secretary Sri. Vilappil Soman and then, the President Sri. Gilten Joseph, after that President Sri. V. K. Mohanan, Secretary Sri. K. Muraleedharan, President Sri. Gilten Joseph and Secretary Sri. Janardhanan Nair, with the intention of starting male old age home and other members, the Society could achieve attractive progressions. Rtd. I.A.S. Officer Sri. K. Appu had contributed his 20-cent land at a very low price to the Society. Also, Sri. Jagathi Sree Kumar had contributed an ambulance van. Sri. S. R. J. Richardson had contributed building space for old age home and other facilities. These contributions are considered as the biggest recognition to the society.
