The long cherished dream of our Chairman is to start a college to
cater to the educational needs of poor students from rural areas and
mould the character of young students as responsible individuals.
Our Chairman has given a shape for his dream by forming ‘Mahalashmi
Kunjithapatham Educational & Charitable Trust1in the year 1997 and
provided the entire infrastructure that is required to start an Arts &
Science College.
The massive buildings with more than 1,30,000 sq.ft.
With more than 20 acres are provided exclusively for the college. In
addition, on behalf of the Trust, in the year 2006 a Matriculation School
named, “Mahalashmi Matriculation School” was started.
The aim of the founder is not only to impart quality education but
also to mould the character of the young children into matured,
responsible and empowered individuals.
The school also strives to
inculcate in its students, the sound philosophy of life based on faith in God, respect for individual and their human rights, love and concern for less privileged and ideals of truth, justice and peace.
