  We study the possibility of simultaneously addressing neutrino phenomenology
and the dark matter in the framework of inverse seesaw. The model is the
extension of the standard model by the addition of two right handed neutrinos
and three sterile fermions which leads to a light sterile state with the mass
in the keV range along with three light active neutrino states. The lightest
sterile neutrino can account for a feasible dark matter(DM) candidate. We
present a $S_{4}$ flavor symmetric model which is further augmented by
$Z_{4}\times Z_{3}$ symmetry to constrain the Yukawa Lagrangian. The structures
of the mass matrices involved in inverse seesaw within the $S_{4}$ framework
naturally give rise to correct neutrino mass matrix with non-zero reactor
mixing angle $ \theta_{13}$. In this framework, we conduct a detailed numerical
analysis both for normal hierarchy as well as inverted hierarchy to obtain dark
matter mass and DM-active mixing which are the key factors for considering
sterile neutrino as a viable dark matter candidate. We constrain the parameter
space of the model from the latest cosmological bounds on the mass of the dark
matter and DM-active mixing.
