History

The College started functioning at Vadassery Amma Veedu at "Perunthanni" in 1948 and was later shifted to the present site at Kattachakkonam, now known as Kesavadasapuram. Late C. Rajagopalachari, the last Governor General of India, laid the foundation stone for the new building on August 22, 1948.

The Arts section was shifted to this building in 1949, and the Science section the in 1950. The main building was completed in 1958 and was inaugurated by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, on April 24, 1958. The college celebrated its Silver Jubilee during 1974-75. The foundation stone of the three-storeyed Mannam Memorial Block was laid by Sri. P. K. Narayana Panicker, General Secretary of the Nair Service Society (NSS) on April 23, 1989. The Block was inaugurated by Dr. Swaroop Singh, the then Governor of Kerala, on October 2, the Gandhi Jayanthi day 1990.
