The Founder

Sri A Thangal Kunju Musaliar was born in a middle class family at the ancestral home of his parents in Kollam on 12th January 1897. His family proudly traces their ancestry to Malik Ibu Deenar, a legendary Islamic missionary who came to India in the 8th Century. The name Thangal Kunju Musaliar conjures up the memories of an era, when Kerala dominated the cashew export trade in 1940's and 50's. He was a pioneer in this field who build up a vast business empire through impeccable planning and its systematic implementation. By 1940, he had the unique distinction of being one of the world's renowned employers. In 1950, while at the peak of his business career Sri. Musaliar became preoccupied with new thoughts of how best he could provide education to the new generation for the better development of the society. As a man of extraordinary vision he foresaw the tremendous importance of education in the years to come. These thoughts have paved the way for the formation of the T.K.M Educational trust in 1956. The trust has the heritage of holding up firmly the values of late Janab Thangal Kunju Musaliar. The trust established Institutions such as T.K.M College of engineering, T.K.M College of Arts and Science and T.K.M Institute of management. Today we see the success of a visionary statesman and multifaceted personality, who full-filled his dream of uplifting the society primarily through education.
