The Kerala Muslim Educaitonal Association was established in 1955 with the noble aim of setting up quality educational institutions on par with global standards, promoting education among minority communities and providing financial aid to the economically weak and deserving students.
The KMEA Engineering college is dedicated to the fond memory of Jb C.H. Mohammed Koya, a dynamic visionary, who was not just an eminent politician and administrator, but a friend, philosopher and guide to the muslim community. He was also a renowned educationalist who believed that quality education is the true path to progress.
At present, the KMEA promotes the Seethi Sahib Memorial PolyTechnic at Tirur, the first aided polytechnic in Kerala, the Abdulla Haji Ahmed Sait Al-Manar Public School at Kuzhivelipady and several hostels in and around Ernakulam.
