Following the hallowed footsteps of Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara, Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering and Technology was established at Kalady with the aim of providing value added technical education with a flair of professional excellence and ethical values. The college is run by ADI SHANKARA TRUST, a registered trust which has carved a niche in the education arena by running Sree Sankara College and Sree Sarada Vidyalaya, both at Kalady. Prof S. Gopalakrishna Iyer is currently leading the Engineering Institution.
