ALTIUS
A non-profit initiative to impart quality training to students.
ALTIUS, a non-profit initiative of World Malayalee Council, intends to impart quality training to students of various colleges in Kerala to groom them to be 'Globally Competent and Socially Committed' leaders of tomorrow.
'Altius' is the Latin word for 'higher'. A celebration of youthful creativity, Altius strives diligently to awaken the higher self within every student, to rise higher in their thoughts and lives without losing the values. Our goal is to be instrumental in developing a large pool of young leaders/cadres to influence their respective communities. Altius students will show the difference wherever they are and in whatever they do. Started in 2009, Altius has rendered free residential training through district-wise Altius Camps to several thousands of college students, and it is our earnest belief that in the next ten years, Kerala will be revolutionized by this generation with its positive attitude, vision and actions.
