India lives in its villages
Mahatma GandhiKERALA STATE RUTRONIX was established by the Government of Kerala in 1990 as the apex body of 18 Rural Women's Electronics Industrial Co-operative Societies across the state. Over the years, RUTRONIX has built a strong presence throughout Kerala and earned a reputation for its integrity, reliability, and commitment to development.
The organization has been involved in the manufacturing and supply of components for renowned brands such as Keltron TVs, Kamal Radios, ONIDA TVs, and Pamba Electronics. Its production portfolio has also included Computers, UPS systems, EPABX units, CFL lamps, solar-powered solutions, and various electrical and electronic devices.
With the changing global economic landscape and the liberalization of markets, RUTRONIX strategically shifted its focus from manufacturing to service-oriented industries. Its software division, Govern-IT, has successfully implemented numerous software projects for public sector organizations under the Government of India and the Government of Kerala, as well as international agencies including the World Health Organization (WHO).
One of the most significant transformations in RUTRONIX's journey has been the growth of its Training Division. Since 2006, the organization has been offering employment-oriented, computer-based training programs designed to meet evolving industry requirements.
Developed by subject-matter experts and aligned with market demands, these programs have helped position RUTRONIX as one of Kerala's leading training institutions, empowering thousands of job seekers with industry-relevant skills and career opportunities.
