About Us

Nurture Educational and Charitable Society is a not-for-profit entity whose idea has been conceived by a group of alumni from Udyogamandal School. The society primarily aims to provide assistance and support in the areas of education, health & well being, academic pursuits and that of socially impactful works carried out by the students, staff members & faculty (present and past) of the school.
 
Udyogamandal School has a glorious past, thanks to the pioneering efforts of its founders to bring high quality education to the state of Kerala, through the ISC board affiliated secondary school syllabus.  However, it has been the  unique delivery model of education that made Udyogamandal School, a name to reckon with.
 A committed faculty, personal attention to its students, focus on overall development besides academics and a very helpful support staff & parents themselves have been the key attributes to its enduring success.  While most schools rewarded conformity and produced generalists, Udyogamandal School with its well-balanced curriculum went on to produce outstanding individuals in every walk and sphere of life.

Nurture Educational and Charitable Society is a step forward to recognise the need of giving back to the community.  There is no better place than start it with the alma mater that instilled the very virtues of nurturing lives for overall development.  The society will bring together all possible resources to find the joy and happiness in giving back to where the founding members started from, thereby contributing to uphold the legacy of this great institution in the times to come.
