About MEA

The Sultanate of Oman has a pool of highly educated and experienced Indian Engineers, who are engaged in various developmental activities. A large part of them hail from the southern state of Kerala, well known for its achievement of attaining 100% literacy rate and efficient skilled workforce.

Most of these Engineers from Kerala had graduated from prestigious colleges spread around India. Since the spread of engineers were too large, it was very difficult to pool their collective knowledge, except for the occasional encounter at their workplace. Moreover, their high pressure jobs afforded them with very little free time to socialize except with their immediate colleagues or close friends and relatives in the country. They were hardly in touch with likeminded people and most of them were living in their own islands.

The Malayalee Engineer’s Alumni or MEA as it is popularly known was formed in the year 2001, as a platform for gathering such people. When MEA was conceived, it was meant for Engineers who hail from Kerala, but graduated from outside the state. Later, with newer colleges being set up in the state and with more graduates passing out of those colleges, it became a large platform for Engineers and their families to gather, share their ideas, socialize and above all have fun together with likeminded people.

Over the last 15 years more engineers started interacting with MEAand now there are more than 150 people who regularly participate in the various sports and cultural activities. There is active participation from the families as well. MEA has also become a support system for the participants in both their professional as well as personal lives. MEA today is one large and close knit family held together by the participants like mindedness; will to help and an extreme urge to have fun together!!
