Hira Charitable Trust came into being in Mayyil in 2001, intending to impart better education to the people of Mayyil and its peripherals. The education facilities were relatively less in this region mainly because of insufficient literacy in this area. Educational institutions are always beacons of progress. Having realized this, many philanthropists in this area joined hands and formed a trust called the Hira Charitable Trust (HCT) with a vision to extend better educational facilities to the general public and particularly to the weak and marginalized sections.
