The Kelappaji College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Tavanur came into existence on October 2, 1985 along with the faculty of Agricultural Engineering and Technology under Kerala Agricultural University. The College is named after Sri. K. Kelappan (1890-1971), a well-known freedom fighter and social reformer. He was a staunch follower of Gandhiji and the leader of the ‘Sarvodaya Movement’ in Kerala. His dedication to Gandhian principles in word and deed earned him the name ‘Kerala Gandhi’. Tavanur was the centre of Kelappaji’s social activities. It was in recognition of his services to the rural people that the Government of India established the Rural Institute at Tavanur in 1963 with Kelappaji as its Vice-Chairman. Kelappaji College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology was built up on the foundations of the Rural Institute, Tavanur.SriKelappaji
