The genesis of ITM was the result of the educational vision of Hira Charitable Trust . Hira Charitable Trust was established with a deep rooted goal of providing utmost efficient education to the Mayyil and nearby natives and peripherals . The education facilities were relatively less in this region mainly because of insufficient institutions in this area. Educational institutions are always beacons of progress. Having realized this, many philanthropists of this area joined hands and formed a trust called Hira Charitable Trust (HCT) with a vision to extend better educational facilities to the general public and particularly to the weak and marginalized sections.
Main Objectives
