About us
Kongunadu Institute of Allied Health Sciences
An allied-health institute built around real hospital technology — founded by a family of doctors, run by a public trust, and attached to a working hospital so students train where the work happens.

Our foundation
Built by a family of clinicians, for the next generation
The college was founded by Dr. P. Raju and is run by the Kovai Kongunattu Arakkattalai trust — with managing trustee Mrs. Vijayalakshmi Raju and trustees Dr. Karthikeyan Raju and Arthi Karthikeyan. It sits in a calm setting near the hills, roughly ten kilometres from Coimbatore, with modern teaching facilities and safe on-campus hostels.
Vision
Why we exist
To prepare allied-health technologists who are trusted in the cath lab, the imaging suite, the dialysis unit and the laboratory — skilled, safe, and ready for clinical work from the day they graduate.
Mission
- Teach on the actual equipment — CT, MRI, dialysis and diagnostics — from the second year.
- Keep cohorts small so instructors mentor each student directly.
- State only the recognitions our certificates support.
- Support students with safe hostels, transport and a calm campus.
Hospital-backbone training
