Our founder
Shri. Varghese Vattoly (1933 – 2003)
Shri. Varghese Vattoly (1933 – 2003), dearly known to the people of Chalakudy as Vattoly Mash, is the founding father of Nirmala Institutions. He played an influential role in opening the vista of higher education in his hometown of Chalakudy.
Believing in the power of education to uplift and empower the community, Shri. Varghese Vattoly established Nirmala College in 1954. Providing accessible, non-discriminatory and quality education was his sole mission. His life motto, “Knowledge is Power”, is zealously upheld by every college and institution under Nirmala to date. As the second offspring of Nirmala Institutions, NCAS pays tribute to him and always strives to uphold the morals of his life and preaching.
