Founders Day Celebration 2025

FISAT celebrates the Founders Day on 27 September, the birthday of our founder Chairman Late Adv. P V Mathew. He was the Secretary of the Federal Bank Officers Association and was instrumental in establishing the Federal Bank Officers Association Educational Society, which runs our college. 

The college was established in 2002 and the classes started on 23rd September 2002. P V Mathew lost his life battling cancer at the age of 64 on 6 June 2017. In his fond memory, we celebrate the Institution Day which falls on 23rd September and Founders day together on his Birthday.

This year, the commemorate lecture was delivered by Mr. Loknath Behera IPS, MD Kochi Metro Rail Limited and Ex DGP, Kerala Police, in a function held in the main seminar hall. The program was attended by Ms. Philo Mathew, Wife of P V Mathew, The Chairman, Management Committee Members, Principal, Vice Principal, Dean, HoDs, Teaching and Non teaching staff. 

Mr. Behera, in his talk, emphasised the vital role engineers play in the nation’s development, highlighting the urgent need for confident and capable engineers in our state. Interestingly, most of his references focused on the significant contributions that Civil Engineers can make. It was truly inspiring to hear him speak about various national projects that stand as a source of pride for our country. He was impressed by the infrastructure of our campus, especially the NSDC and IDEA Labs and the reputation that the college has built over the years. 

The Presidential Address by our Chairman, Mr. Shimith, was truly inspiring. He emphasised that we are on the path of fulfilling the dreams set by our founder and are making remarkable achievements, such as attaining autonomy this year. He further envisioned that within the next ten years, our institution will become a deemed university, continuing along the path shown by the founder.

Scholarships instituted in memory of PV Mathew, other scholarships instituted by various departments were presented during the event. The P V Mathew Endowment award for our department was awarded to Ann Mariya Babu, S7 CE.
