SNM Institute of Management and Technology is one of the most prestigious and earliest self financing engineering colleges in Kerala. This Institute is owned and managed by the Hindu Matha Dharma Paripalana Sabha (HMDP Sabha, Moothakunnam), which was established in 1882, under the guidance of Sri Venkatagiri Sasthrikal, an Andhrite theologist, who pioneered Hindu Maha Parishath movement.
Motivated by the teachings of the great social reformer, Sree Narayana Guru, a number of educational Institutions were established by the sabha. SNM Institute of Management and Technology was established in the year of 2002 on the campus at Maliankara, and it is the latest jewel in the crown of HMDP Sabha.
