The History of our college......
The history of the college is embedded with the history of the place. Ranny may be rightly described as the foothold of the Sabarimala, the abode of the Holy Sree Ayyappan, which is a famous pilgrim centre.
The college was established in1964, as a junior college by Ranny St. Thomas Valiyapally, a premiere parish of the Syrian Knanaya Diocese of Malankara, with the whole hearted support of the then Bishop late lamented His Grace Abraham Mor Clemis to meet the educational needs of the youth of the local community. The college, situated on the top of a serene hill, in a sylvan surrounding, away from the din and bustle of the city, is easily accessible and is only a walkable distance from the heart of Ranny town. The college was upgraded as a first grade college in1968 and is the only institute of higher learning in this part of the country. When the de-linking of Pre degree courses from colleges, the college is left with the Degree and Post Graduate courses.
The college aims at the formation of cultured and educated citizens who love God and their country. With its rural background and 'Gurukula' atmosphere, the college fosters uninterrupted pursuit of knowledge. The first Principal, Late Prof. K. A Mathew, served as minister and PSC menber in the Kerala state. He played a vital role in building up the junior college into a first grade one in 1960.
In addition to the convectional courses, we now offer UG courses in Tourism Studies and Business Administration and PG courses in Physics, Commerce, Chemistry, Tourism Administration and Computer Application.
