TPCT: Commitment to Education, Innovation, and Research

The Terna Public Charitable Trust (TPCT), established in 1980, stands as one of Maharashtra’s leading educational and social service organizations. For over four decades, TPCT has remained dedicated to advancing quality education, social welfare, and community development while fostering a strong culture of research and innovation.
Managing 30 institutions across the state in diverse fields such as engineering, medicine, pharmacy, design, nursing, management, and schools, TPCT has consistently nurtured talent and encouraged knowledge creation. Each institute reflects the Trust’s vision of integrating academic excellence with research-driven growth to develop socially responsible and future-ready citizens.

Among its flagship institutions, Terna Engineering College, Navi Mumbai, has emerged as a premier centre for technical education and research. The college emphasizes innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and industry partnerships, equipping students and faculty to undertake cutting-edge research that addresses real-world challenges.
TPCT also places a special focus on healthcare research, leveraging the combined strength of its institutions in medicine, pharmacy, nursing, and engineering. By fostering joint projects across these disciplines, the Trust promotes research in areas such as advanced diagnostics, medical technologies, drug development, and patient care solutions. This collaborative approach not only advances scientific knowledge but also translates into tangible improvements in community health and well-being.
