As a pioneer institution of Higher Education, the college epitomises the exalted vision and objectives of Sri.

S. has always aspired to give shape to the vision and farsightedness of the immortal Founder and has played a pivotal role in uplifting the Nair community and in extending its unalloyed service to all sections of society without any discrimination. Over the years it has evolved as one of the biggest corporate educational establishments in the country running 25 colleges under various Universities in the state and over 150 schools spread across the state. What sustains the enthusiasm and social commitment of the Founder Sri. Mannathu Padmanabhan,is the concerted efforts undertaken by the present leadership under the guidance of Hon'ble President Sri.
