The institution is affiliated to Mahatma Gandhi University ,Kottayam.
.Our founder has realized the significance of education as the growth of any community for that he approached the wealthy class to collect money to commence educational institution and persuaded people to donate land for the purpose. The vision of our founder to serve the downtrodden of the society and empower the weaker and marginalized people in the community is put in to practice by our institution through these programmes.We believe that these activities act as a catalyst in empowering the student teachers to lead the community as well as to serve the community.
