'Islamic Centre Trust Padanna' (ICT) stands as a collaborative endeavor led by Islamic activists in the heart of Padanna, a predominantly Muslim village in Kerala, South India. Originating in the 1970s, this initiative has evolved into Padanna's epicenter for Islamic activities and serves as a source of inspiration. The primary goal of Islamic Centre Trust is to foster educational, cultural, and moral development in Padanna and its neighboring areas.
At the forefront of Islamic Centre Trust's initiatives is the Secondary English School, a flagship project that has established itself as one of the top educational institutions in the region, known for its exceptional educational standards. Emphasizing a morally grounded educational approach, Islamic Centre Trust moulds students based on their innate talents, carving a unique space in Padanna's educational landscape.
For the past 50 years, Islamic Centre Trust has been instrumental in shaping multifaceted plans for Padanna. These include a CBSE-affiliated High School, International Montessori School integrating Islamic studies, Learning Clinic supporting children with learning disabilities, Islamic Centre Trust Hifdh Academy providing the opportunity to memorize the Qur'an, a Quran Lab, 3 masjids, Disha Cultural Centre, and a Palliative Care Unit.
Looking ahead, Islamic Centre Trust envisions the establishment of a Civil Service training center, CBSE Senior Secondary batches with coaching for competitive examinations, and supporting financially disadvantaged students who excel in both academics and co-curricular activities.
