About Us
Freedom From Diseases Through Knowledge
✒ Our Story
From a small 25-bed hospital in 1986 to a trusted healthcare and educational ecosystem — our journey began with compassion.
Inspired by Shri. K.V. Krishnan Nair and led by Dr. C.K. Velayuthan Nair and Dr. Rema V. Nair, the mission was simple but profound: quality care for every life, irrespective of background.
What started as Velayudhan Pillai Memorial Hospital has grown under the Padanilam Welfare Trust into Sree Mookambika Institutions — touching lives across healthcare, medical education, and traditional healing.
Today, we stand for:
Healing with dignity
Education with purpose
Service rooted in humanity
Our legacy continues — driven by compassion, strengthened by excellence, and dedicated to transforming lives.
Beyond Healthcare – The SMIMS Journey of Excellence
The Padanilam Welfare Trust was formed in 1992 to promote social vision focussed healthcare services for the marginalised communities and tribals, the welfare of the minority Malayalam speaking community in the region, and to provide quality Medical Education to rural students. The culmination of the determined efforts of the trust in the field of higher medical education has borne fruit in the form of 5 educational institutions, the result of its sincere desire and determination.
