P. Gopinathan Nair reverts to Mahatma Gandhi for a solution to most problems. He
attributes them to the lack of Gandhian values. P. Gopinathan Nair (84), who was
awarded the Jamnalal Bajaj Award for an outstanding contribution in the field of
constructive work, stressed the need to follow Gandhian principles. For someone
who has followed the country's fortunes since independence, Mr. Nair finds the
current situation disappointing. "Mahatma Gandhi had said that the lowest
stratum of society has to be uplifted first. He said it was urgent. But until
now, this has not been done. There were programmes, but the first preference was
given to the development of upper class and middle class. As a result, disparity
has only increased. The basic problem is not solved because it was not taken up
at all."
Mismanaged democracy
Disappointed with party politics and a mismanaged
democracy, Mr. Nair advocates Gram Swaraj or village self-rule, implying
decentralisation.

In India Kerala State possess the highest literacy rate. ie. 94.59 percent of
people in Kerala is literate. This is a matter of pride for Keralities. But in
the case of Civil Service, we do have to bow down. Only very few candidates are
clearing out all the phases in the Civil Service Examination. The major reason
behind this is the lack of training and guidance. Most of the time in Kerala,
the youth who are having high IQ itself are not reaching Civil Service.
According to a survey conducted in 2005 by Transparency International, Kerala
was ranked as the least corrupt state in the country. So if the Keralities are
leading the Indian Constitution, it is sure that India will become the least
corrupt country in the world.
Taking this serious issue in concern, NIMS Medicity together with Neyyattinkara
Gandhimitra Mandalam came up with the idea of starting training classes for the
brightest students from 8th to 12th Standard students. The Noorul Islam
Educational Trust was established in the year 1984 under the Chairmanship of Dr.
A.P. Majeed Khan, to impart Technical / Science / Medical Education to the
Society, particularly to the rural segment of the society.

NIMS Medicity, a unit of NI Trust is an ISO 9001-2000 certified 350 bedded
hospital in Neyyattinkara, Trivandrum. NIMS Medicity nests 40 specialty
departments headed by eminent doctors from the respective fields.
Within a span of five years NIMS had spread its fragrance
around the world. Its projects like NIMS HARITHAKOM, NIMS AROGYAMELA, NIMS@HOME,
NIMS Heart to Heart, etc. became successful because of the great public support
and the dedication of NIMS on uplifting the society.
On 13th July 2011, during the 90th Birthday (Navathi) Celebration of Sri. P Gopinathan Nair,
the Chairman of Kendra Gandismaraka Nidhi, the training center was inaugurated.
Sri. P Gopinathan Nair is an ideal patriot and a great Indian freedom fighter.
As an honor of gratitude to Sri. P.Gopinathan Nair, the new sector was named as,
“P Gopinathan Nair Civil Service Training Academy”. The ceremony was inaugurated
by Sri. G. Karthikeyan, Speaker, Kerala Govt., in the presence of Sri. V S.
Shivakumar, Devasam Transport Division Minister, Dr. Shahi Tharoor M P, Sri. O.
Rajagopal and Smt. B. Sugadhakumari.
As part of the training around students, selected from different schools and colleges can attend the
Common Entrance Test. From the shortlisted candidates most efficient students
are provided with intensive Civil service coaching. Students from Below Poverty
Line with high academic skill will be given training freely. Innovative guidance
and vibrant coaching will be the specialties of this training center. The
faculty team under Dr. Shashi Tharoor will be the Civil Servants itself. Most
experienced Civil Servants will be invited for sharing their experience with the
young aspirants. The coaching is scheduled on all Sundays inside the NIMS
Medicity premises. Along with this training, programs for encouraging
patriotism, Gandianism, etc. will be promoted.
Our Mission:
- Eliminate corruption from Indian Public Life.
- Mould India as a model for other countries.
- Eradication of social evils through the young civil servants.
Our Vision:
- Corruption free India by 2016
