A Journey Rooted in Vision and Determination

In the heart of Kerala, often called God’s Own Country, lies Venmenad, a peaceful inland village nestled amidst lush greenery, where the Canoly Canal and Chettuva backwaters meet. During the 1960s, Venmenad was a quaint and rustic land, with its people relying on fishing, coir-making, and agriculture. Education, particularly material education, was scarce, and spiritual knowledge often took precedence. In 1962, a transformative vision was born. Janab M.K. Mohammed Haji, deeply inspired by his father’s social and educational contributions, sought to address the lack of educational institutions in his beloved village. Recognizing education as the foundation for community development, he initiated the establishment of a U.P. school. Driven by a commitment to uplift the underprivileged, Mohammed Haji laid the cornerstone for what would become MASM Institutions.

Visionary Founder

Janab M.K. Mohammed HajI

Born into the Vellangil family as the eldest son of Abdu Sahib and Pathunni Hajjumma, Mohammed Haji inherited a legacy of community service. From a young age, he exhibited a passion for social work and an unwavering dedication to improving the lives of others. Despite his success in political, religious, and social spheres, his heart remained with the people of Venmenad.

As a member and president of the Pavaratty Grama Panchayat, Mohammed Haji’s influence extended beyond politics. His pioneering efforts to bring education to the underserved were driven by the belief that societal progress required inclusive growth. His dream materialized in 1964 when the school was approved during the tenure of Chief Minister R. Shankar.
