To provide high quality excellent education in the arena of technical and professional education and to impart knowledge in a structured fashion to the student community, late Shri.P.K.Das established the Nehru College of Education and Charitable Trust in the year 1968. Being a man of great vision, commitment, perseverance, dedication and devotion he pioneered revolutionary and innovative thoughts to revamp technical and professional education in the private sector. He was committed to the cause of the poor and social welfare and undertook various initiatives such as donating wheel-chairs, tailoring machines, and tricycles to the physically challenged, providing free education and medical treatment to the backward class, and donating homes for the homeless.
Message From The Chairman and Managing Trustee
Adv. Dr. P. Krishnadas
Honorary Trade Commissioner of Mauritius - India, Chairman and Managing Trustee, Nehru Group of Institutions
Over five decades ago, Nehru Group of Institutions was established and right from the beginning, the institution has followed a unique approach to serve the community, be it students or the public, in general, with a vision of providing service through education and humanitarian works. Our conglomerate of 20 colleges is one of oldest organizations dedicated in Coimbatore and Kerala that has consistently worked towards empowerment and social change through Aeronautics, Architecture, Arts, Engineering, Science, Medical, Research and Technical education in India.
Being bestowed with the monumental responsibility of leading NGI with such rich heritage is a challenge by itself. I am proud that the rise of our institutions is not from the high-rise concrete structures and technological infrastructure, but comes entirely from its intricately intertwined learning process and human resources, which has been the focus on education during its 50 years of existence. NGI was established primarily to promote research and collaborative educational programs that would eventually grow and develop into a globally known centre of excellence. It is also my belief that active engagement with corporate industry in the form of internship programs, group discussions, entrepreneur awareness programs and personal interactions with the top brass of the industry is essential for NGI to maintain thought leadership. Effective Teaching Methodology through transformational training, coaching, mentoring, and other instruments of leadership development will definitely see our students transform into entrepreneurs than mere job seekers. Wishing you all the best and a great success in taking NGI to the next level of Excellence.

“It is my proud privilege to introduce the large group of pioneering educational institutions popularly known as the 'Nehru Group of Institutions' owing its origin to the southernmost part of peninsular India. Higher education is a part of the socio-economic system and has a strong and direct bearing on the economic, social, political and cultural developments of the nation. I would like to quote the golden words of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru “If everything is well with universities in the country, then everything will be well with this nation”.

Executive Director, Nehru Group of Institutions
In order to overcome the competition among many elite educational institutions, imparting of quality education to future citizens to build a strong nation with the development of villages and towns in all the basic sectors is very much required. Nehru Group of Institutions, right from its inception is working in this direction through its qualified, experienced, dedicated and committed faculty and staff members.
NGI is aiming to impart multidisciplinary education by incorporating critical thinking, analytical and creative courses with experiential learning for carving & shaping the students into polished pebbles or trimmed diamonds depending upon their ability. NGI aims to impart ethical education to make aware about human values to the society. NEP 2020 shall be incorporated in phased manner so as to make students ready in 360 degrees. We are sure that in the near future, the institutions of Nehru group will create history in most of the sector by fulfilling the students’ and parents’ dreams into reality.
