MES KALLADI COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS)
A long commitment to learning.
MES Kalladi College began as a junior college in 1967, became a degree college in 1971 and introduced postgraduate study in 1978. Established by the Muslim Educational Society, it grew with the support of the people of Mannarkkad.
The college stands near the Kunthipuzha River in Kerala’s Palakkad district, with the landscapes of Silent Valley and Attappadi forming part of its wider setting. MESKCON connects this local academic community with research conversations across institutions and countries.
The college library: a shared space for study and discovery.
NAAC A++

Since 1967
A continuing contribution to higher education in Mannarkkad.
Mannarkkad, Kerala
A campus in Palakkad district, India, close to the Kunthipuzha River.
Education with a wider purpose.
The college’s stated vision connects education with scientific thinking, civic awareness and social responsibility. Its institutional values include equity, secularism, professional ethics and environmental consciousness.
For a research conference, these ideas offer a useful invitation: ask careful questions, respect different perspectives and consider how knowledge can contribute to the communities around us.
MESKCON is hosted through the college’s Internal Quality Assurance Cell and Research and Development Cell. The conference brings departmental research into a common forum, creating room for conversations between established scholars, emerging researchers and students.
The IQAC supports the culture of quality within the institution. Its published work includes planning, academic initiatives, feedback and review. The conference extends that academic conversation through the exchange of research and ideas.
A conference experience extends beyond the session room. The campus library, teaching spaces and shared areas connect visiting researchers with a living college community.

Dr. P. K. Abdul Gafoor
Founder President, Muslim Educational Society
Dr. P. K. Abdul Gafoor (1929–1984) founded the Muslim Educational Society in 1964. A physician and neurologist, he helped turn a commitment to education into a movement that established schools, colleges and other institutions. His work placed educational opportunity at the centre of community development, forming part of the institutional legacy to which MES Kalladi College belongs.
Dr. P. A. Fazal Ghafoor, MD, DM, is listed as President of the Muslim Educational Society for its 2025–2028 term. MES provides the wider educational framework of which MES Kalladi College is a part. That network forms part of the conference’s institutional setting beyond a single campus.
