About Us - KNM College

About KNM College

KNM Group of Institutions at Mavila, Kanjiramkulam, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala was established in 2005 with a clear mission: To deliver accessible, outcome-driven education that transforms students into confident graduates and responsible citizens.

Founded under the leadership of M. R. Reghuchandra Bal (Former Minister, Government of Kerala), the institution was envisioned as a community-first campus inspired by his father's legacy as a social worker and former MLA—a life dedicated to public service and educational upliftment. This vision continues to guide our focus on discipline, mentorship, employability, and teacher readiness.

Today, KNM offers a multi-stream academic ecosystem—Arts & Science, B.Ed, and D.El.Ed to the standards and academic framework of the University of Kerala.

Founder's Message

M. R. Reghuchandra Bal

Founder, KNM College

When I founded KNM College in 2005, I was thinking about the students in our own part of Kerala— capable young people who deserved a good education close to home, taught by people who cared whether they succeeded.

A college is finally judged by what its students become. I am proud of ours and remain committed to the values we started with—discipline, integrity, and an honest concern for every student who walks through our gates.

I warmly welcome you to KNM College.

Chairman's Message

R Vivek

Chairman, KNM College

At KNM College, our responsibility is straightforward: to make sure the trust families place in us is repaid in full.

We measure ourselves not by buildings or brochures, but by outcomes—by the students who leave here qualified, employed, and ready to contribute. That is the standard we hold every part of this institution to.

To every parent and student joining us, you have our commitment that we will give you our best, and ask for your best in return.
