History


The idea of starting a new college at Trichur City originated from a committee of prominent citizens of Trichur, including Cheloor mana Itti Ravi Namboodiri who was a member of the first Legislative Assembly of the Kingdom of Cochin in 1925 in response to strong public demand. The committee members approached His Highness Aikya Keralam Thampuran, the then Maharajah of Kochi, who allowed free use of the Merry Lodge Palace and the naming of the college after His Highness Sree Kerala Varma College.
A grant of one lakh rupees and a loan of four lakhs towards capital expenditure and a free grant of two hundred and fifty candies of timber were sanctioned by His Highness. The college was initially under the University of Calicut.
