Envisioned by the philosophic and the futuristic vision of the great saint Sree Narayana Guru, the Sree Narayana College, Sivagiri, Varkala was established in 1964. The College is affiliated to University of Kerala and ever since its inception it has made an indelible impression in the realm of higher education in Kerala. Sree Narayana Guru in whose name the college stands was one of the greatest social reformers and spiritual leaders who stood for social liberation through education. The message of social “Liberation through Education” was translated to a reality when Sri. R. Sankar, one of the prominent followers of the Guru laid the foundation of Sree Narayana College upon the serene hills of Sivagiri. Situated in the lofty hill tops of Sivagiri, this institution has been continuing its mission as an inspirational source of knowledge for the last fifty years.
