Indira Institute of Engineering & Technology - Chennai

Indira Educational & Charitable Trust was established half a decade ago and the deed of the trust was executed at Chennai on the 13th of March 2002. The founder of the trust is Mr.V.G. Raajendran, a philanthropist and social activist who has been in the field of promoting real-estate projects in the city of Chennai through Indira Foundations, a name that is synonymous with some of the finest structures that dot the skyline of the metropolis. Having won accolades in his own profession, Mr. V.G. Raajendran, a keen social activist and visionary, felt that he should contribute his might to the betterment of the society as a part of his social commitment. This he felt could be achieved by promoting Educational Institutions that impart high quality education at an affordable cost so that the middle class and the less privileged could stand to benefit. A strong and committed engineering base is an essential pre-requisite for rapid and holistic industrialization and hence the Trust decided to establish engineering institutions covering a range of disciplines and other institutions of higher learning. Thiruvallur District, an industrially backward area, but with potential for broad based industrialization was chosen to locate the institutions. Pandur Village, located 5 kilometers from Thiruvallur Township where the Trust owns sufficient land with all the necessary infrastructure, was selected to site the institutions.
