History

In 1946 the Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam resolved to establish a college at Kollam in the name of Sree Narayana Guru, to provide better higher educational facilities, mainly for the backward classes of Kerala. Accordingly, Sree Narayana College was opened in 1948 as a mixed college. To meet the increasing demand for seats, it was decided to start a separate college for women. The Sree Narayana College for Women began to function in the same building in September 1951 in affiliation with Kerala University.
