Peet Memorial Training College

The Peet Memorial Training College, Mavelikara was founded in 1960 by the Madhya Kerala Diocese of Church South India in memory of the Rev. Joseph Peet, who was one of the leading missionaries, sent by the CMS to South India. He came to Mavelikara in 1836 not only to spread the gospel, but also to uplift the downtrodden. He was mainly instrumental in popularising education in the area. Rev. Joseph Peet?s vision was focused on different areas like promotion of holistic development of students, human rights and justice, women empowerment and social upliftment by eradicating castism and untouchability and through women?s education and vocational education. The vision of this great philanthropist has been adopted as the vision of the college.
