The Nehru Group of Institutions (NGI) was founded in 1968 under the leadership of the late P.K. Das, a distinguished chartered engineer, academician, industrialist, and philanthropist. His vision was to elevate the standards of higher education, providing both professional and non-professional programs that would meet the demands of a rapidly changing world. His aim was to create Institutions that not only offered high-quality education but also helped shape future leaders across various fields.

Under his exemplary leadership, the educational Institutions established under the Nehru College of Educational and Charitable Trust flourished and became renowned centers of excellence. These Institutions have since set benchmarks in their respective fields and are recognized for their academic rigor and commitment to quality education. The Trust is currently led by Adv. Dr. P. Krishnadas, with Dr. P. Thulasi and Dr. P. Krishnakumar serving as trustees.
