Thrissur Educational Trust

When the doors of technical education were opened to the private sector the Archdiocese of Thrissur entered the scene immediately and established the Thrissur Educational Trust as a special body to take care of technical education of diocese. With Arch Bishop Mar Jacob Thoomkuzhy, a great visionary and an eminent educationalist as Patron and Vicar General Rev. Dr. George Manadan, an efficient manager and an effective guide as its president, the Trust has acquired the much needed confidence and courage at the beginning itself. The Trust consists of religious leaders and devoted laity capable of contributing liberally to the cause of education as its members. In the very first year itself the Trust has taken the bold step of starting Jyothi Engineering College at Cheruthuruthy. The focus of the college is to impart quality professional education not only to the catholics, but also to the other communities as well.
