This reverent temple of higher education was started by the honourable Travancore Devaswam Board in June 1964. It is the embodiment of the dreams and aspirations of the late Kumpalathu Sanku Pillai, the founder personality behind its origin. The selection of the college site itself denotes the poetic vision of the mighty beloved popular leader of the masses of this area. He will rightly be remembered with reverence and gratitude by the generations to come. Surrounded on three sides by the famous pure water lake and blessed and protected at the entrance by the Lord Sastha. It is an ideal hill top at peace and tranquillity to be the afford of an association scholars. Being away from the din and bustle of the towns the campus lends a calm and serene atmosphere. Let us put our Heads and Hearts together to achieve the sublimation of our souls. Let this College be a walking stick and eye opener to the springing youngsters of the region, in their path of life and let it provide all means to learn the art of life.
