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. Owing to this historic connections between the two, the College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology at Tavanur was named as ‘Kelappaji College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Tavanur’, in honour of SriKelappaji.
The Kelappaji College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology (KCAET) is located in Tavanur Village in Malappuram District of Kerala. It is beside the National Highway No.17, on the Kuttippuram – Ponnani sector. Tavanur is about eight kilometers from Kuttippuram Railway Station on the Shornur – Mangalore sector of Southern Railway. The holy river ‘Bharathapuzha’, alias ‘Nila’, forms the northern boundary of KCAET campus. Tavanur and Tirunnavaya, the neighboring villages on the other bank of Bharathapuzha, are places of religious and historical importance.
Kelappaji College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology grew out of the Rural Institute, Tavanur after a few institutional metamorphoses. The history of the college begins with the establishment of a Rural Institute in Tavanur in 1963. It was one of the fourteen Rural Institutes established in India for the education of the rural youth.
