SINCE 1941
A little history...
1941. India had not
won her independence
yet; it was still a dream for
the national leaders.
But a little known man,
in a lesser known State
too had a dream.
Shri. V E Isaac’s dream
was to build an educational
institution of excellence
that would stand the test
of time and empower the
younger generation to
build a great nation. Thus
was born V Institute, an
institution that had later
become a beacon of hope
for several thousands of
aspiring youngsters aiming
for a bright future.
