About the Organisation

JKKN Educational Institutions is a leading global provider of innovative solutions for society’s changing needs. Located in Komarapalayam, Tamil Nadu, India, just 15 km from Erode City, our campus is home to a range of top-tier institutes for higher learning.

Founded by philanthropist Shri J.K.K. Natarajah in 1969, the J.K.K. Rangammal Charitable Trust (Reg No:33) was established with the goal of providing literacy and empowering women, ultimately leading to an upgraded socio-economic status for the people of the region. In the 1960s, the female children of Kumarapalayam had to walk 2.5 km to the nearby town of Bhavani for their education, leading some parents to hesitate to send their children to school or to have them work in the handloom and dyeing industries instead. Recognizing the need for women’s education, Shri Natarajah established a girls’ school in 1965, four years before the inception of the trust.

At JKKN Institutions, we are dedicated to empowering students and faculty to seize exponential opportunities and become dynamic leaders. Our teaching practices are designed to provide a strong foundation for education, and our state-of-the-art facilities and partnerships with leading manufacturers and commercial enterprises ensure that our students and faculty have access to the best resources and opportunities.

Our campus is equipped with modern academic blocks, cutting-edge lab facilities and operation centers, well-stocked knowledge resource libraries, top-notch sports infrastructure, and separate accommodation for boys and girls. We also have a general and dental hospital on campus to provide health care services. In addition, our highly functioning placement cell ensures that all our students have a bright future ahead of them.

In addition to providing top-tier education, the trust is also deeply involved in various social service activities, including free dental camps, free medical treatments and surgeries, blood donation camps, motivational and entrepreneurship awareness camps, and support for impoverished individuals, natural disasters, and poor students. Our culture of commitment, transparency, and teamwork, as well as our reputation as a knowledge center that generates and supports exceptional levels of opportunity and initiative, have contributed to our ongoing success.

Our institutions include the JKKN Dental College and Hospital, JKKN College of Nursing and Research, JKKN College of Pharmacy, JKKN College of Engineering and Technology, JKKN College of Arts and Science, JKKN College of Education, JKKN Matriculation Higher Secondary School, and Nattraja Vidhyalya School.
