KC Group of Institutions has established itself as a premier institute not only in the state but in the entire country. It is also motivating the rural people to be educated. �In our locality people don�t like to send their girls to other big cities for higher education and I thought of starting institutions of higher education across various disciplines in the rural areas. And I started from Nawanshahr,� shares Prem Pal Gandhi, Chairman, K C Group of Institutions. For attracting students from other states and countries, the real estate entrepreneur Prem Pal Gandhi has established two campuses: first in Nawanshahr, Punjab and second in Pandoga, Himachal Pradesh, having modern infrastructure and facilities.

This successful initia- tive was further broadened in 2005 with the establishment of KC college of Edu- cation and KC college of Hotel Manage- ment which connected education with a practical approach. In the Institute of Hotel Management, restaurant was established according to the need of the industry where the skills of the individuals are pruned by focusing on the practical edu- cation so that they can fetch handsome hotel jobs in and outside the country. In 2006, KC Polytechnic College was started to impart diploma education to the students. In 2008, with the divergence towards management, KC group of Institutions started a new wing which was established in the name of KC College of Manage- ment and Computer Application.
